​

YEAR END TAX PLANNING
We focus on your marginal income at the end of every year to legally manipulate your income against other financial decisions — such as a major medical procedure — to put yourself in the best tax bracket for overall income. We guide you through potential deductions, showing you how to use them to your advantage.

 

There are numerous end of the year tax planning considerations, including:
•    Bonus deferral. It may make sense to wait to accept your annual bonus in the New Year, so you don’t push your income into a higher tax bracket.
•    Clever credit card use. Using a credit card to pay deductible expenses at the end of the year increases your annual deductions without having to pay them off until the next year.
•    Bunching deductions. This strategy may allow you to save on your taxes because some are applicable only if they exceed a certain percentage of your gross annual income.
•    Settle insurance claims. If you have a casualty loss deduction, settling a claim could help increase this overall deduction.
•    Roth conversion. Sometimes, converting an IRA to a Roth IRA (or vice versa) can prevent you from paying higher than necessary taxes at the end of the year.
•    Postpone income. Marginal income can be postponed until the following year to keep it from pushing you into a higher tax bracket.
•    Annual gift tax exclusions allow you to give money to individuals and save on estate taxes.

 

ESTATE TAX PLANNING
Regulations for estates are constantly changing. We help you preserve your family wealth through vigilant and proactive approaches to estate management. Whether you’re looking to minimize the tax impact of gifts, pass wealth throughout generations or fulfill philanthropic dreams, your estate tax plan can be customized to reflect your personal goals.

 

No matter where you are in the estate tax planning process, we provide exactly what you need, such as:
•    Reviewing current estate plans
•    Creating estate tax plans
•    Implementing and executing the plans
•    Managing the plans — even bridging generations involved

 

Your team at Edofalltrades ensures you maximize the benefits and minimize the impacts of your estate planning process, every step of the way. It’s never too soon to start planning.

 

INCOME TAX PLANNING
With the complexities of business and personal income, you may think that they need to stay separate. While they are two distinct entities, they both need to serve you. We look beyond the numbers to find new ways to make your wealth grow. To do it, we study where your personal and business income intersect.

​

Income tax planning should be a year-round activity, as your finances can be reviewed and adjusted throughout the year. Paying the least amount of taxes legally possible requires careful planning. We are proactive about maximizing tax saving strategies that save you money, setting up both you and your business for success.

 

INTERNATIONAL TAX PLANNING
Today more than ever, individual and business finances — and taxes — are crossing borders. The intricacies of international tax planning are evolving alongside globalization.

 

Our team of international tax specialists provide international tax planning strategies for:
•    Expansion, mergers and acquisitions. We not only keep you abreast of the most current regulations, we prepare you for future uncertainties
•    Treaty planning. Expertise in tax treaties is integrated at every step of the tax planning process to minimize liability and guarantee compliance.
•    Foreign tax credits. We keep you informed about your currently available foreign tax credits.
•    Reparation compliance. Compliance experts carefully ensure that both personal and business tax planning are optimized in your favor.
