Year-End Tax Planning for Individuals
 
As 2011 winds down, there is still time to reduce your 2011 tax bill and plan for 2012.
 

The Tax Relief Act of 2010 extended some tax breaks and expanded others. But certain provisions expire at the end of 2011 and others - including lower tax rates - after 2012. In light of this uncertainty, minimizing taxes over the next few years will require smart planning and timely action.

  

We have presented an outline of our year-end planning letter below. As you can see, there are a multitude of issues to consider in connection with year-end tax planning.

 

The actual letter posted to our website includes a detailed explanation of each of the items listed.  

 

If you notice items which are of interest, please consult the explanation in the full document, and call us with any questions.
