TAX RETURN PREPARATION AND TAX COMPLIANCE We specialize in the preparation of every type of Federal and State tax return: individual and fiduciary income tax, gift tax, estate tax, generation-skipping tax, etc., whether the most complex tax return or a fairly simple return. Our firm uses sophisticated tax preparation software, thus enhancing efficiency and maximizing tax savings. Our firm's personalized services include timely reminders of important deadlines to take advantage of tax saving opportunities, while maintaining full compliance with all tax laws. In addition, our firm also is extensively experienced in the preparation of U.S. and state tax returns of non-resident and foreign national taxpayers. TAX PLANNING Potential tax saving opportunities are identified at the time a transaction (business or personal) is contemplated. These opportunities then are put into practice by careful analysis of the latest tax law. Tax projections, along with other analyses, are used to help determine and structure the optimal strategy to employ. Of course, if the client desires, we are able to provide thorough and detailed tax return preparation to report the strategy accurately; or we can review and assist that client’s usual tax return preparer to complete the relevant tax forms appropriately.
