Introduction:
Tax Advantages & Strategy. |
Today, many
people are still not aware of the tremendous tax advantages
that exist for property owners. The fact remains that the
Tax Codes and Laws allow for numerous tax deductions and
benefits to those that own property, including but not limited
to: A First Home (Main Residence); Second Home (or Vacation
Home); Rental Property and other forms of Investment Properties.
By becoming
a homeowner, you too can enjoy the many tax breaks &
benefits. Some of these benefits will be explained here
in simple detail. Consult your tax professional for further
information.
Each year,
millions of Americans file their yearly income tax returns.
Many people are not quite sure of what the purpose of this
is. At tax time, you file your tax return as part of a reconciliation.
That is, to determine if you have paid too little or too
much in taxes. If you received a refund, it is because you
paid to much. If you owe taxes at the end of the year, it
is because you have underpaid and have not had enough tax
withholding throughout the year. As a Tax Advisor, my job
is to plan a tax strategy that allows you to pay as little
tax as possible, while following the rules of the tax codes
and laws. This is not just for current year, but for future
years as well. Quite frankly, there are many “Tax
Preparers” out there. You need to select a Preparer
whom you are comfortable with and one that is fluent with
tax codes and law. Some people even complete their own tax
returns. If they have a simple return, it is quite easy.
But as income
continues to grow each year, and you begin to add children,
home deductions, itemized deductions, tax credits, investments,
retirement income or even a small business to the return,
it becomes more complicated. Mistakes are often times made.
It is here where you need to seriously consider a tax advisor
or consultant to assist with organizing your tax world.
Specifically to show you how to pay the least amount of
tax as prescribed by law. Purchasing a popular tax program
at the local store and filling in numbers is now becoming
a trend. But what these people fail to realize is that they
have no comprehension or guidance for understanding what
is happening with those entries. Simply put, they enter
their information and pay the tax. They have no grasp of
future consequences of their current entries. They do not
understand how to lessen their tax burden. The ironic part
is that for the $ 29.95 that they spend on a simple tax
program, it really does not cost much more to hire a Professional
Tax Advisor. They certainly are not saving any money on
personal time or by reading 2 hours of program instructions.
The following
tax information has been gathered and researched. This is

Each year the tax laws change and more are added. I do my
best to maintain accurate and up to date information regarding

to contact me or consult with your current tax preparer
for further explanation.
