Tax preparation for individuals

Tax preparation season is probably not a season that you enjoy- especially if you are preparing your own taxes and you live in New York, New Jersey or Connecticut.  A daunting task because of complicated, intricate and constantly changing regulations, it is nearly impossible to make sure you are completing your taxes properly and in a timely manner.  This includes not underpaying but, more importantly, not overpaying–to increase your bottom line.

We prepare personal income tax returns, provide business tax services, and offer holistic financial advice.  It’s always a good time for high net worth taxpayers to revisit their plan to see how they might be impacted and what opportunities there are to generate tax savings.  The Scott M.
