TAX PLANNING:
Social Media tax pro's promote Tax Planning over tax preparation. Giving the impression that taxpayers actually have a choice or, you can do one without the other. In reality, planning and preparing go hand in hand. Tax planning may garner higher revenue, but tax filing/reporting is a compliance requirement.

I guess a better question is...WHAT IS TAX PLANNING?

In simple terms: Tax planning means organizing your income, expenses, and investments so that you pay the least amount of tax, legally while achieving your financial goals. The real benefit in planning is reducing your Tax return outcome through tax return filing.

Tax preparation is the process of gathering financial information, completing tax forms, and filing a tax return with the appropriate tax authority.

Don’t wait until tax filing to realize you should have done some tax planning.

The IRS was supposed to hire 2,220 people to process your tax returns this filing season. They hired 50 — and the IT workers filling the gap are now being told their involuntary reassignments are being extended, while a backlog of 2 million returns continues to grow.

Everyone needs to understand Months is the new normal. It is not clearing fast.

The IRS is changing requirements for tax professionals - we can not get information regarding your personal taxes without having a Power of Attorney, even if we filed your tax return.

The IRS is requiring individuals to handle more and more of their information themselves - without the help of their tax professional. I have created step by step instruction on how to create your IRS account.

By doing this you will be able to see not only your payments and refunds but also any information the IRS receives regarding your income and wages.
