Make Tax Decisions Before the Year Is Over
Tax preparation looks backward at transactions that already happened. Tax planning looks forward while there may still be time to make informed decisions.
We review your expected income, investments, deductions, withholding, estimated payments, and upcoming financial events to identify issues that could affect your federal tax position.
The objective is not simply to reduce one year's tax bill. It is to understand the consequences of important decisions and create a more deliberate approach to taxes over time.
Proactive Individual Tax Planning
We focus on the financial events and decisions that can materially change an individual's tax position during the year.
Year-End Tax Planning
Review your projected year before December 31 to identify decisions or transactions that may still be actionable.
Income Projections
Estimate taxable income using wages, investments, business activity, real estate, retirement income, and other sources.
Withholding & Estimated Taxes
Review payments already made and determine whether withholding or estimated payments may need adjustment.
Capital Gains Planning
Evaluate realized and potential investment gains and losses within the context of your overall tax position.
Deduction Planning
Review significant deductible expenses and timing considerations before the tax year is complete.
Major Financial Decisions
Consider the potential tax impact of significant transactions such as property sales, equity events, retirement distributions, or business changes.
Who We Serve
For Individuals Who Want to Plan Ahead
We work with executives, professionals, business owners, investors, property owners, retirees, and other individuals whose financial decisions can have meaningful tax consequences.
Planning is particularly valuable when income is changing, a major transaction is approaching, or your financial life has become more complex than it was in previous years.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should individual tax planning be done?
Planning can be useful throughout the year, but reviewing your situation before year-end often provides more opportunities to act.
How is tax planning different from tax preparation?
Tax preparation reports completed transactions, while tax planning evaluates expected income and decisions before the tax year is finished.
Can you help plan for investment gains?
Yes. Investment sales and capital gains can be incorporated into an overall tax projection and planning strategy.
Can tax planning help with estimated payments?
Yes. Projecting income can help determine whether withholding or estimated payments should be adjusted.
Should I plan before a major financial transaction?
Often, yes. Reviewing potential tax consequences before a transaction can provide more options than addressing them after completion.
