Who This Is For

✅ Tax planning is a good fit if you:

  • Owe a balance due each year and want to reduce surprises

  • Are self-employed and need help with estimated taxes

  • Had a major change (new job, side income, relocation, marriage, child, home purchase)

  • Own rental property or have meaningful investment activity

  • Want guidance on year-end decisions that affect taxes

What Tax Planning Typically Covers

📌Depending on your situation, tax planning may include:

  • Estimated tax planning and payment guidance

  • Withholding review (W-2 / multiple jobs / spouse income)

  • Self-employed strategy (income tracking, deductions, documentation standards)

  • Entity and compensation considerations (when relevant)

  • Year-end planning items (timing of income/expenses, retirement contributions)

  • Review of prior return patterns to identify planning opportunities

Note: Recommendations depend on your facts and documentation, and tax outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

Wooden Chess Pieces

How the Remote Process Works

🧾 Our remote process is designed to be simple and consistent:

  1. Planning Intake — Quick intake to identify goals and changes this year

  2. Document Review — Prior return + current year income/expense info

  3. Planning Summary — Clear action steps and next-best moves

  4. Follow-Up — Optional check-in later in the year if circumstances change

What to Upload (Planning Checklist)

📂 Common documents include:

  • Prior-year tax return (or relevant pages if preferred)

  • Current year pay stubs or income summary

  • Self-employed income/expense summary or P&L (if applicable)

  • Investment/rental summaries (if applicable)

  • Notes on expected changes (new job, move, major purchase, dependents)

FAQs

Is tax planning the same as tax preparation?

No. Tax preparation reports what already happened. Tax planning focuses on decisions you can still make to reduce surprises and improve outcomes.

Do you offer planning for self-employed clients?

Yes. Self-employed planning often focuses on organization, documentation, and estimated taxes.

Can tax planning guarantee a lower tax bill?

No. Planning depends on facts, documentation, and the tax rules. The goal is better decision-making and fewer surprises—not guaranteed results.

Do you offer planning year-round?

Yes. Planning can be done any time, but it’s most effective before year-end and before key decisions are finalized.
