Technically competent, degreed, and seasoned tax professionals, we are easy to work with.  Our goal is to have clients' taxes as low as legally possible and we work with clients to help them see opportunities and pitfalls. We answer their questions such as: 

• Can I deduct the real estate taxes I paid this year?  I sold a house and bought a house this year; are the real estate taxes on both houses deductible?  
• Should I use my employer's flex spending plan to pay for child care or take the credit?
• Is the sale of my personal residence taxable?  If so, are there exceptions?
• What expenses can my business deduct?  Or, I will be an independent contractor, what can I deduct?  Do I need to make estimated tax payments?  
• I made nondeductible contributions to my traditional IRA in the past but I never told my tax preparer.  Is that OK?  Is it a good idea to make nondeductible contributions? 
• I am an employee.  Can I deduct business expenses?  Educational expenses? 
• I had a high income for many years and put away a lot in my retirement accounts and saved a lot.  But I have not worked this past year; what do you recommend?  
• I am self-employed.  What's the best way for me to save for my children's college?  To pay for medical expenses?  What retirement plans can I use? 
• I received a small inheritance.  How much income tax will I need to pay on it? 
• Should I set up a 529 college fund for my child?
• I inherited US savings bonds and am in a high tax bracket.  Can we reduce the tax?

• I have appreciated rental property.  Should I sell it or do a 1031 like-kind exchange?
• My income is too high to take an education credit, can my child take it?

• As a minister how do I calculate self-employment tax?  What's covered by my "housing allowance"?  What does "double dip" mean? 
• I am getting a divorce.  The equity in the house is about the same as my retirement savings.  Which should I give up?  My soon-to-be-ex wants the exemptions for the children.  How much is it worth to my spouse and how much will it cost me?
