TAX STRATEGY

WHAT IS TAX Strategy

A Tax Strategy is basically a game plan for how you handle your taxes to keep more of your
money legally. It’s about making choices throughout the year—how you earn, spend, save,
invest, and structure your business—so that when tax time comes, you’re not paying more than
you need to.

Here are a few angles it can cover:

  • Timing income and expenses: Deciding when to take income or make purchases to fit
    into the most favorable tax year.
    ● Choosing the right entity: Like whether your business should be an LLC, S-Corp,
    C-Corp, or stay a sole proprietor.
    ● Deductions and credits: Identifying all the legitimate write-offs, from home office
    expenses to research and development credits.
    ● Retirement planning: Using tax-advantaged accounts like IRAs or 401(k)s to reduce
    taxable income now and grow wealth for later.
    ● Investment decisions: Planning for capital gains, dividends, and how long you hold
    certain assets.
    ● State vs. federal considerations: Making sure you account for differences in state tax
    rules, especially if you operate in multiple states.

It’s not just about saving money this year—it’s about setting yourself up for long-term tax
efficiency.
