You can get significant tax savings with proper planning. In fact, a meeting with your CPA, on a cyclical basis can assist you in preparing a tax strategy that helps you plan for both short term and long-term success.   You don’t want to spend more money on things you don’t need just to save a few dollars on your tax bill. That’s not smart tax planning. Instead, this is about strategically accelerating or delaying specific purchases you’re already planning to make. Or seeing if a new tax strategy puts money back in your wallet. 

Everyone’s situation is unique, so it’s important to schedule a meeting with your tax professional on a regular basis and see how your performance is meeting with your goals.
