Bills for spring term are in the mail. Before you rush to pay, you might want to consider waiting until Jan. 1, 2019, to make payment.

Wonder why? Read our most recent edition of the SFS News to learn more. In brief, there are possible negative tax impacts of making payment for the spring term in December. The exception to this is when a transaction has a December due date.
