Frequently Asked Questions

How does tax compliance differ from a tax advisory engagement?

Tax compliance and preparation is generally done on an annual basis and reports what has already happened.

Tax advisory & planning is a proactive approach throughout the year to reduce your overall tax burden and put more money in your pocket.

Do you work with non-U.S. individuals and U.S. citizens living abroad?

Absolutely. Much of our practice is focused on cross-border tax issues for nonresidents and U.S. citizens living abroad.

We assist taxpayers with international related disclosures and unique forms that most U.S. tax preparers are unfamiliar with preparing. Those forms include Form 5471 for CFCs, Form 8621 for PFICS, Form 8865 for foreign partnerships, and Form 8938 for the disclosure of foreign financial assets.

We also assist U.S. citizens with foreign earned income exclusions (Form 2555) and foreign tax credit computations using Form 1116.

What if all of the strategies don’t work with my situation?

This is entirely normal and expected. We present the full range of strategies available to you, along with all the information you need to make an informed decision based on each strategy’s cost, tax savings, and complexity.

How soon can we implement the tax planning strategies?

The time required to implement each proposed strategy will vary. Some components can be executed immediately, while others may take several weeks to months to fully implement.

What other types of tax returns do you prepare?

Many of our strategies utilize various forms of trusts, nonprofit entities, gift-tax planning, and other unique strategies that require less traditional tax filings.

We prepare domestic trust returns (Form 1041), foreign trust returns (Form 3520), nonprofit & private foundation returns (Form 990, 990-PF, and 990-T), gift tax returns (Form 709), split-interest charitable trusts (Form 5227), and other unique filings that are unfamiliar to most tax advisors.

Planning for Everyone

  • Health Savings Accounts (HSA) Maximization

    HSA’s are often referred to a “triple tax advantage” plans, because contributions are fully tax deductible up to the annual limit, investment earnings grow tax free, and funds can be withdrawan for qualified medical expenses.

  • Tax Loss Harvesting

    Harvesting losses for tax purposes is a strategy where you sell investments at a loss to offset taxable gains to reduce your current tax bill, while trying to keep the overall investment strategy intact.

  • Traditional to Roth IRA Conversions

    High-income earners can leverage the “backdoor Roth IRA” strategy to convert nondeductible Traditional IRA contributions to a Roth IRA for tax free growth, tax free withdrawals, and eliminate required minimum distributions (RMD).

  • Portfolio Optimization

    Optimizing your investment portfolio for tax purposes aims to rebalance the investments efficiently, by replacing those tax-inefficient assets with more tax-efficient assets, minimize turnover, and be deliberate about when to realize gains.

  • Deferred Compensation Plans

    Deferred compensation amounts aren’t taxed in the year earned, but when ultimately paid out, allowing you to shift income from high-earning years into future tax years with lower effective tax rates.

Sophisticated Strategies

  • Real Estate Investments

    Real estate continues to be one of the most effective methods of lowering your annual income tax bill by using depreciation, cost segregation strategies, the short-term rental loophole, and Section 1031 exchanges.

  • Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT)

    The CRT is a tax-planning tool which allows you to donate appreciated property to charity and receive an immediate tax deduction, while still allowing you to receive income from the property years into the future.

  • Solo 401(k) Plans

    These solo retirement plans are designed for self-employed & small business owners with no full-time employees, allowing you as the owner to not only save for retirement, but also save substantial income taxes each year.

  • Section 831(b) Captive Insurance

    These “micro captives” allow business owners to form their own insurance company to insure the risks of their business, and allows the insurance entity to exempt up to $2 million per year in insurance premium income, free of taxes.

  • Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI)

    PPLI products are a specialized form of variable life insurance to shelter investment gains from taxes and reduce potential estate taxes, also allowing the policyholder to access the cash value through loans and other withdrawals.
