One of the most frustrating things I sometimes have to tell a client is:
โIf we had talked about this six months ago, we may have had more options.โ
By the time I am preparing your tax return, most of the year is already history.
The business purchase was made.
The property was sold.
The retirement contribution deadline may have passed.
The income was earned.The transaction already happened.
A tax return reports what happened. Tax planning happens while there is still time to make decisions.
That does not mean every decision should be made simply to save taxes. It means understanding the tax consequences before you make the decisionโnot after.
If you own a business, invest in real estate, or have had a significant change in income this year, September is a much better time to start that conversation than next April.
