Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about tax planning and optimization.
What is the difference between tax planning and tax preparation?
Tax preparation is reactive - it looks at what happened last year and prepares returns accordingly. Tax planning is proactive - it analyzes your current situation and implements strategies to minimize future tax liability throughout the year.
When is the best time to start tax planning?
The best time is now! Tax planning should be a year-round activity. However, certain strategies need to be implemented by specific deadlines, so starting early in the tax year provides the most opportunities for optimization.
How much can I expect to save through tax planning?
Savings vary based on income level, business type, and current tax efficiency. Most clients save 15-30% on their tax liability, with savings ranging from $5,000 to $100,000+ annually.
What types of businesses benefit most from tax planning?
All businesses benefit, but the most significant impact is seen with profitable businesses ($100K+ revenue), high-income professionals, real estate investors, and businesses with significant equipment purchases.
How do you ensure tax strategies are compliant with IRS regulations?
All our strategies are based on current tax law and IRS regulations. Our CPAs stay current on tax law changes and ensure all recommendations are fully compliant and audit-defensible.
