Tax planning is the process of preparing and implementing a financial strategy that follows tax law, minimizes your tax liability, and triggers favorable tax results for you. This involves ongoing communication between you and your planner, as both the applicable tax laws and your financial situation can evolve over time. Tax planning takes place year-round, not just at tax season.
Tax planning is a complex matter, and it’s important that your tax plan be tailored to your industry and specific situation. The right financial advisor can help you better manage your taxes throughout the year, as well as resolve any audits or disputes with the IRS.

Tax planning is about making smart financial decisions so you can reduce your tax bill and achieve your financial goals. It often begins with a review of all of your financial records, identifying opportunities to save money on taxes, determining if you have excess income that can be put to more profitable uses, and exploring ways to reduce the impact of taxes on your business.
You should carefully consider what types of income you earn, the income levels that apply to your tax filing status, and whether you have any tax-favored retirement accounts or investments.
