Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start tax planning?
Tax planning is most effective when it happens before the end of the tax year. Ideally, planning should begin early in the year and revisited when your income, business activity or financial circumstances change. Year-end planning can also help identify steps to take before December 31st to manage your tax liability.
Can you help reduce my tax liability?
Tax planning can help identify legitimate opportunities to manage your tax liability based on your individual circumstances. This may include reviewing deductions, retirement contributions, business expenses, estimated payments, timing of income and expenses, or other applicable tax strategies. We don't promise a specific amount of tax savings, but help you understand your options and the potential tax consequences of different decisions.
Do you provide tax projections?
Yes. We can prepare tax projections to help you estimate your expected federal and state tax liability based on your current income and anticipated changes. Projections can be especially useful when income varies from year to year, you're self-employed, or you're considering a significant financial transaction.
Do you provide tax planning for small businesses?
Yes. Small business tax planning can include reviewing projected business income, estimated taxes, owner compensation and distributions, business expenses, equipment purchases, retirement contributions and other decisions that may affect the business and owner's tax situation. Planning can also help coordinate business and personal tax considerations.
Can you help with estimated tax payments?
Yes. We can help calculate estimated tax payments and review whether your current payments or withholding are reasonably aligned with your projected tax liability. This can be particularly important for self-employed individuals and business owners who don't have taxes withheld from all of their income.
Can tax planning help if my income changes during the year?
Absolutely. A significant change in income is one of the best reasons to revisit your tax plan. A new job, business growth, a large contract, retirement, investment gains, the sale of property or other changes can affect your expected tax liability. Updating your projection can help you determine whether adjustments to withholding or estimated payments may be appropriate.
