Tax planning must be an integral part of your overall financial planning for your business and/or your personal goals. Tax planning encompasses a logical analysis of your financial situation or plan, from a tax perspective, to determine the optimal strategies to shift or lessen current and future tax liabilities as necessary to meet your short and long term financial objectives.

Events in your life can have a huge impact on your tax situation. Some of these events you can prepare for, others are unexpected and sudden, yet most of them can be planned for from a tax perspective.

Nothing is worse than getting a letter from the IRS or the Massachusetts DOR, informing you that you owe taxes that you did not anticipate. And you were just going to book that vacation, or purchase the printer that was going to improve productivity in your business.
