Tax Planning

Plan Ahead and Keep More of What You Earn

Many people feel their tax bill is too high. Often it does not have to be. There is more to taxes than filling out forms in the spring. Good planning means understanding your situation and making decisions during the year that lower the bill at the end of it.

How we do it

• We review your situation carefully so that you take every credit and deduction you qualify for.
• We help you set up a recordkeeping system that meets IRS requirements.
• We work with you throughout the year on strategies that reduce your taxes.
• We review your paycheck withholding so it matches what you will actually owe. There is no reason to give the IRS an interest-free loan.
• We explain how pension plans, retirement contributions and similar arrangements can defer tax.
• We look at investments that produce income exempt from federal tax, state tax or both.
