Tax Planning
There is a certain mystique that has grown up around tax planning and tax-cutting
techniques. We are here to put tax planning in plain English for you.
There are actually several basic tax-cutting strategies, and most plans involve one or
a combination of them. In a nutshell, the strategies are:
 |
Splitting income among
several family members or legal entities in order to get more of the income taxed in lower
brackets.
|
 |
Shifting income from
one year to another in order to have it fall where it will be taxed at the lower rate.
|
 |
Shifting deductions
from one year to another to place them where the tax benefit will be greater.
|
 |
Deferring tax liability
through certain investment choices and through pension plan contributions.
|
 |
Structuring your affairs
to obtain a tax deduction for some expenses paid for things you enjoy - a vacation home,
for example.
|
 |
Investing your money to produce income that is exempt
from either federal or state income tax or both. |
Professional Help
Today's tax laws are so complicated that unless your financial affairs are extremely
simple, chances are you will benefit from at least occasional help from a tax
professional. It is too easy to overlook deductions and credits to which you are entitled
if you prepare only one return a year. Even the use of computer software is no substitute
for the assistance of a seasoned tax preparer.
We prepare hundreds of tax returns every year. We know what to look for when your
return is prepared. More importantly, you have someone to ask questions of during the rest
of the year. And we will put you on our mailing list to receive timely tax and financial
advice.
Call us!
Why don't you call us for a no-charge initial conference? We will discuss your
financial and tax situation and determine how we can help you. If your financial affairs
are simple, it may be a short meeting. If you have extensive holdings, your needs are more
complicated and should be treated accordingly.
