Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our tax planning services
The best time to start tax planning is at the beginning of the year, not during tax season. Early planning allows us to implement strategies throughout the year, maximizing your opportunities for tax savings. We recommend scheduling your initial consultation in January or February.
For your initial consultation, bring your last 2-3 years of tax returns, current year income statements (W-2s, 1099s), investment account statements, retirement account information, and any business financial statements if applicable. This helps us understand your complete tax situation.
While savings vary based on individual circumstances, our clients typically save between 10-30% on their tax liability through strategic planning. The actual amount depends on your income level, deductions available, and how early we begin planning.
Absolutely. We believe in collaborative approaches and regularly work alongside your existing financial team. Our tax planning strategies complement the work of your CPA, ensuring seamless implementation and maximized benefits.
Tax preparation is retrospective - filing returns for the previous year. Tax planning is proactive - implementing strategies throughout the year to minimize future tax liability. While preparation is necessary, planning is where the real savings opportunities exist.
We recommend quarterly reviews to ensure your strategy remains aligned with any changes in your life, business, or tax laws. Major life events like marriage, divorce, birth of a child, or significant income changes should trigger an immediate review.
Yes, we have extensive experience with multi-state tax planning. Whether you work in multiple states, own property across state lines, or are considering relocation, we can help navigate the complex multi-state tax obligations and optimize your overall tax position.
It's never too late to start planning for next year. Additionally, we can review your recent returns to identify any missed opportunities that might be recovered through amended returns, and implement strategies to reduce your tax liability going forward.
