Family Tax Planning & Preparation

Plan the tax bill before it is written

Your return prepared and filed, plus the year-round moves — contributions, credits, multi-state filing — that shrink next year’s number rather than explaining this one.

    Before we meet

    We collect last year’s return and this year’s documents, which is usually enough to spot what was missed.

    • The return walked through line by line, so you know why
    • Contributions and credits that are still available to you
    • Multi-state and dependant care, where they apply
    2

    In the meeting

    We go through the return itself and then past it, into the decisions that set next year’s number.

    • Form 1040 with the schedules your situation requires
    • A dated list of moves to make before year end
    • Withholding or estimate adjustments, if they are needed
    3

    What you leave with

    A filed return and a short written strategy for the year ahead, with deadlines attached.
