Tax Compliance
We think the foundation for your happiness and growth in
business is to comply with the tax laws. This means that you need to
know your filing requirements and due dates for each of your various
taxing authorities.
We can help. Our first appointment consists of a conference at
which we identify your filing requirements. We then draw up an
engagement letter that details what we will provide and exactly what
we'll need from you. Then we track the due dates and contact you in
advance so, together, we can fulfill all your reporting requirements in
a timely fashion.
Tax Planning
The concept of tax planning is really very simple: Arrange your
financial affairs so that you maximize your net worth while paying the
least amount of taxes required by law. Practicing that concept can get
a little tricky.
Almost all financial transactions have tax consequences. The
reporting of these transactions is governed by the Internal Revenue
Code, regulations, case law, revenue rulings and private-letter
rulings. Our job is to understand your financial transactions and to
assist you in applying any of the above rules and guidelines to your
advantage. The application of tax findings is not always black or
white, however, and it is the gray areas that can produce the greatest
protection for your net worth.
Tax rates for individuals, corporations and trusts are
graduated, which means the higher your taxable income, the higher the
tax rate. That's one reason we like to begin our relationship by
reviewing the number and type of taxable entities you have. By looking
at the complete tax picture we may find that unexplored opportunities
in one entity may eliminate pressures on another.
For instance, wages paid to a child eighteen or younger who
works in your unincorporated business are not subject to payroll tax. A
child who works can earn up to $5,000 before any taxes are due for 2005
and $5,150 for 2006. Another example: "C" Corporations can accumulate
money for business expansion at a lower after-tax cost than the same
funds saved in "S" Corporations, partnerships or proprietorships.
Effective tax planning requires analyzing where you are, where
you want to be and then developing strategies to help you get there as
quickly as the law allows.
