TAX PLANNING & PROJECTIONS

Know what you'll owe before the year ends

Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Serving clients nationwide.

Tax planning and projections give you an estimate of your taxes while there's still time to make decisions. Shawn helps individuals, business owners and CRNAs plan ahead instead of finding out at filing time.

How It Works

TAX PROJECTIONS

What a tax projection does

A tax projection estimates your taxes for the year based on what you've earned so far and what you expect for the rest of the year. You can use it to:

  • Decide whether you need estimated payments, and about how much
  • Avoid a surprise bill at filing time
  • See the tax effect of a decision before you make it

WHEN TO PLAN

When tax planning pays off

  • Your income went up or changed sources this year
  • You started 1099, contract or locums work
  • You started a business or are thinking about changing its structure
  • You earn income in more than one state
  • You plan to sell investments or property
  • You received a large bonus or changed jobs
  • You're in your first year working as a CRNA, or you switched from W-2 to 1099

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions about tax planning

When should I start tax planning?

The earlier in the year, the more options you have. Planning is most useful before the year ends, while there's still time to act.

How is a projection different from a tax return?

A return reports a year that's already over. A projection estimates the year you're in, so you can plan for it.

Do I need to be a tax preparation client to get planning?

No. Planning and projections are available on their own, or alongside tax preparation.

How much does tax planning cost?

It depends on your situation and the work involved. Shawn will go over the fee during your free consultation.
