Tax Planning & Return Preparation
Many financial decisions have a tax component that will potentially impact the advisability of a course of action. The proper management of your tax liability can have a positive effect on your cash flow, investment returns, and retirement income.
In addition to tax planning for future transactions, our firm prepares our clients’ individual federal and state income tax returns each year. This service helps maintain a complete understanding of the interaction between financial planning, investments, and tax decisions.
Some of the often-overlooked strategies that our firm considers throughout the tax planning process include:
