3/4-Year Tax Planning.

Now that we are 3/4 through the year, it's an excellent time to review your tax circumstances for the year.

Any adjustments that may need to be made have less effect when they can be spread over a longer period of time.

Evaluate the taxes you've paid in up until the current date.

Is your income more than last year?

If so, are your tax payments adequate to keep pace?

You may need to review the income you have to determine if you can defer any income to next year.

With tax rates falling each year, you not only have an additional year to pay the tax but a smaller amount of tax will be required, as well.

On the deductions side, look at the areas in which you get a tax break.

  • Should you increase your charitable giving?

  • If you're considering a house purchase, how much income tax effect will result during the current year?

  • Are there work related expenses that you need to incur before the end of the year?
  • These decisions are easier to make during the middle of the year as well.
