Tax Preparation & Planning FAQs

When should I begin tax planning?

Ideally at the start of the year with check-ins before each estimated payment due date and a deeper review in Q4—so you can still act before year-end.

What’s the difference between tax preparation and tax planning?

Preparation files last year’s return accurately. Planning is proactive, using elections, timing, entity choice, and credits to legally reduce taxes going forward.

Can you work with multi-state or remote teams?

Yes. We address economic nexus, apportionment, and state credits to reduce surprises and keep you compliant.

Do you support IRS notices and audits?

We help you respond, assemble documentation, and pursue penalty abatement where appropriate.
