Why plan?

Imagine you made two large charitable contributions, exceeding the deduction limit for this year. You do not plan to donate again, so you will have no charitable contribution deduction in the next tax year. Now imagine you had consulted a personal tax accountant in advance and worked out a plan to divide your philanthropy between two tax years. This scenario is just one example of the countless ways that tax planning can save money and give you peace of mind.

A few of the questions we can help you answer include:

  • Major expenditures – How much, if any, of the amount is tax deductible? Would the deduction be more benificial in this tax year or the next? If the expense were divided between tax years, would the total deduction be greater?
  • Retirement savings – Are you eligible for a ROTH IRA? If so, is it a better choice than a traditional IRA? How much of your IRA contribution is deductible? Will your current level of contribution support your expenses during retirement?
  • Investing – How will investment income affect your taxes? What is considered ordinary income, short term capital gain, or long-term capital gains? Should you hold an investment longer before selling? If you incur a loss, will it lower your tax bracket?
  • Credits – Who qualifies as a dependent? Can the parent get a tax credit for a dependent child’s tuition? Do you get a “green” credit for your electric car or home solar system? What other credits might you qualify for?
