Tax Return Preparation & Tax Planning
We will prepare the appropriate year-end personal or corporate income tax returns and also discuss tax planning. Tax planning helps ensure that you anticipate your tax obligations, avoid unpleasant surprises, and take advantage of all opportunities to minimize your overall tax liability.
This process begins with a review of your accounting reports from selected periods throughout the year, and then project your overall tax liabilities for the year based on significant assumptions and/or events such as prior year results, practice trends, a major equipment purchase, or the hiring of an associate.
