Personal Tax Preparation
Each year when tax season rolls around do you find yourself wondering whether you should prepare your taxes yourself or hire a professional to do it for you? If so, you’re not alone. Preparing and filing taxes is generally a daunting task for anyone who is not well versed in tax laws and regulations. This is why more and more individuals are seeking the help of a professional to assist them with their tax planning and filing.
Here at Minton CPAs & Associates:

It is our goal to handle the heavy lifting for our clients, as well as equip them with financial knowledge that will not only benefit them during tax season but also throughout the entire year.

Utilizing investments to defer tax liabilities or to produce income that is tax exempt.
02
Having your expenses or income taxed at a lower rate by shifting them to a different year when possible.

Shifting your income to a lower tax bracket by splitting the income between multiple family members.
How Often Should You Meet With A CPA For Tax Planning?
Proper tax planning is an important part of your financial health.
You should meet with your CPA at least once during the year to review your tax situation. This is an opportunity to review changes, get advice, and make sure that you’ll be able to take full advantage of all the deductions and credits you qualify for.
