What Do I Need to Know About Tax Planning?
Over the course of your life, you will pay out tens of thousands of dollars in income tax. If you own a business, your company may also be paying out, depending on how you have structured your business.
Compliance with state and federal taxes is imperative in order to avoid steep civil penalties and to avoid criminal prosecution. Even if you are complying with tax law, you need to take advantage of the tax breaks that are often overlooked and the different methods available to reduce your income tax burden.
When you sit with an attorney to create a tax plan, you will explore the different ways to reduce the amount of tax you and your company will have to pay.
If you are self-employed or own your own business, the most important part of the tax planning process is determining how your organization will be structured. For example, if you are a C-corporation, there is a potential for double taxation. You will be paying taxes on dividends or distributions, and your company will pay taxes on profits. If you are organized as an S-corporation, your company pays no tax and profits and losses are passed through owners. You may also be able to reduce Medicare and Social Security taxes as an S-corp.
Even if you earn a regular income from an employer, you need tax planning advice. Maximizing your deductions will be part of your tax plan. You may also choose to invest in financial accounts like IRAs and 529 college savings accounts to take advantage of tax breaks. There are restrictions on how much you can earn and contribution limits as well, making a structured tax plan important. Let one of our attorneys help you discover how you can take advantage of all the tax benefits that are available.
What Type of Tax Planning Do I Need?
You do need to consider tax issues during your lifetime, but you also need to consider how your death can affect your taxes. Estate taxes are charged upon your death on large estates, and these can sometimes force your family to sell your property if there is not enough liquid cash to pay these taxes. There may also be a transfer of taxes and capital gains taxes when your property is inherited upon your death.
When you set up a tax plan, you are helping to reduce the taxation your heirs may be faced with upon your death. Your legacy should not be negatively impacted by the IRS.
