Tax Planning

Regardless of the sophistication of your financial plan, it is likely that the single biggest challenge you will face this year is staying on top of your tax obligations. Also, you can safely assume that a tax auditor interested in assessing you or your business additional taxes, penalties, and interest due to a missed payment or filing deadline, improperly claimed deduction, or incomplete records will expect for you to be compliant with every section of the tax code.  

There are countless tax planning strategies available, particularly if you own a small business.  Some are aimed at your individual tax situation, some at the business itself. But regardless of how simple or how complex a tax strategy is, it will be based on structuring the transaction to accomplish one or more of these often overlapping goals:

• reducing the amount of taxable income;
• reducing your tax rate;
• controlling the time when the tax must be paid; 
• claiming available tax credits;
• controlling the effects of the Alternative Minimum Tax; and 
• avoiding the most common tax planning mistakes
