Tax Planning
Tax planning is not a one-time event. Continuous, year-round planning is the best way to ensure the best possible financial and tax positions for you. We can help you any time you have a significant event, such as starting a new business, buying a home or getting ready for retirement.
Charitable Giving
You cannot deduct contributions made to specific individuals, political organizations and candidates, the value of your time or services and the cost of raffles, bingo, or other games of chance. To be deductible, contributions must be made to qualified organizations. Cash contributions must be substantiated by a bank record, or a receipt, letter or other written communication from the donee organization indicating the name of the organization, the date of the contribution, and the amount of the contribution. In addition, if the contribution is $250 or more, a written acknowledgement showing the amount of cash contributed, any property contributed, and a description and a good faith estimate of the value of any goods or services provided in return for the contribution or statement that no goods or services were provided in return for the contribution, is required. Non-cash contributions over $500 must be supported by an attachment to the return which states the kind of property contributed, along with the method used to determine its fair market value. Form 8283, Non-cash Charitable Contributions is required for contributions with a claimed value of more than $5,000. Contributions which exceed the 10% limitation can be carried over for five years.
Estate Taxes
IRS Representation
Avoiding Probate
Joint tenancy, with the privilege of survivorship. Two or more people have equal ownership. The property is passed to the joint owner upon death. This should be used to effectively avoid probate.
Tax Services
Earlier is better when it comes to working on your taxes. The IRS encourages everyone to get a head start on tax preparation. Not only do you avoid the last-minute rush, early filers also get a faster refund.
Roth IRA
ROTH IRAs - Contributions to a ROTH IRA are not tax deductible but the qualified distributions, including earnings are tax-free.
Real Estate Taxes
Deductible real estate taxes are usually any state, local, or foreign taxes on real property. If a portion of your monthly mortgage payment goes into an escrow account and your lender periodically pays your real estate taxes to local governments out of this account, you can deduct only the amount actually paid during the year to the taxing authorities. Your lender will normally send you a Form 1098, Mortgage Interest Statement, at the end of the tax year with this information.
Tax Deductions
Retirement Plans - Participate in your employer sponsored retirement plan, especially if there is a matching component. You will receive a current tax deduction and the tax-deferred compounding can add up to a large retirement savings.
Income Tax
The interest gained from state and local bonds is usually exempt from federal income taxes. These investments generally pay back at a lower interest rate than commercial bonds of similar quality.
Tax Deferral
Capital Gains Taxes
Maximum capital gains tax rate for taxpayers with adjusted net capital gain up to $78,750 for joint filers and surviving spouses, $52,750 for heads of household, $39,375 for single filers, $39,375 for married taxpayers filing separately, and $2,650 for estates and trusts
Tax Return Preparation
Available in most communities are Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites to help with tax return preparation. People volunteer their time to help their neighbors. The service is free to those with limited or moderate income people, non-English speaking, the elderly and the disabled. Some VITA sites even offer free electronic filing. If you want to know more about a VITA site in your community or volunteering your time, call the IRS at 1-800-906-9887. Check out IRS e-file.
Business Tax Return Preparation
We are excited to introduce Fixed Fee Agreements; no two agreements will be alike, but what will be common among all of them is unlimited access to us in the form of phone calls, emails, meetings, etc. Clients best suited for a Fixed Fee Agreement are those who have a business, or businesses with many shareholders/members. The Fixed Fee Agreement might include the business tax return(s), the individual tax return(s), payroll processing and reporting, monthly reconciliation of your bank statements and assessment of QuickBooks, tax planning for each entity and each individual and more. The fee is a flat monthly, semi-monthly or quarterly charge, with no hidden fees, charges for phone calls or surprises on your bill. Our involvement in your bookkeeping can be as much or as little as you need, from actually performing the day-to-day input to assessing your QuickBooks quarterly to look for mistakes, set-up errors or suggestions.

Mutual Funds
While it's important to keep year-end mutual fund and IRA contribution statements forever, you don't have to save monthly and quarterly statements once the year-end statement has arrived.
Bonds
Money Market Funds
The yield is the amount paid annually by an investment. The yield is most commonly a percentage of the market price of an investment, which does not take into account the appreciation. Since money market funds and certificates of deposit don't fluctuate like stocks and bonds do, the yield would be the same as the total return.

Accounting Services
We offer a variety of services to help do-it-yourself business owners manage their day-to-day operations using accounting software packages like QuickBooks. With many years of experience, we can help get you started with QuickBooks to empower you to manage your bookkeeping and control cash flow, while enabling you to work with us as your CPA in an advisory capacity.

Financial Planning
Following are some generally recognized financial planning tools that may help you reduce your tax bill.
Retirement Planning
A person who participates in a qualified pension, stock bonus, or profit-sharing plan, a qualified annuity plan, a tax-sheltered annuity (TSA) plan, a simplified employee pension plan, or a local, state, county, or federal retirement plan has active-participant status, as does his or her spouse.
Annuities
A long-term contract sold by life insurance companies that guarantees fixed or variable payments to the purchaser at regular intervals. Payments are usually scheduled to begin at a future time, such as retirement. Some annuities provide tax-deferred earnings, often as part of retirement plans.
Long Term Care
With long-term care insurance (LTCI), you are guaranteed to be paid a certain amount of money towards care for a specified length of time.
Asset Management
Diversification is similar to asset allocation, but within the asset class. For instance, diversification would be buying 15 or 20 different stocks, with the same purpose in mind as asset allocation, to minimize risk and to make sure that if something tanks, it doesn't take your entire portfolio down with it.
Living Trusts
Reverse Mortgages
A reverse mortgage is a way for you to take advantage of some of the equity that is currently tied up in your home. A reverse mortgage works in the same manner as a normal one, reversed, and the homeowner is paid monthly versus having to pay. The major difference between this and a home equity loan is that you aren't required to pay anything back to the lender as long as you retain ownership of the home.
