How do I reduce taxes over my lifetime?
Define the issue in a way so that visitors know you understand exactly what they are experiencing.
The Scenario
Income taxes are inevitable. The key is figuring out how to reduce the amount of taxes owed each year and throughout your life. The problem is that navigating the complex tax code on your own can be quite challenging. Trying to reduce your tax bill in one year may have detrimental consequences to your overall long-term plan.
Key Considerations
- How can you be certain that you are taking advantage of all the tax deductions and tax planning strategies available to you each year?
- Do you have an integrated plan that will not only minimize your taxes this year, but over the remainder of your life?
- Is your current CPA providing proactive tax planning advice or simply preparing your tax return for you each year?
