About Tax Deductions and Credits

young accountant working with laptop and financial documents Deductions and credits allow you to lower your tax bill. Our firm works with you to determine the best options that help you reduce your liability and get the most out of your refunds. Individuals can choose from two types of deductions - standard and itemized. Businesses generally have better results when they itemize deductions to reduce their liability.

The standard deduction is a fixed amount subtracted from your total taxable income. Itemized deductions are generally a better choice for those with a heavy tax burden. However, proof must be provided to back up these deductions in the form of receipts and bank statements.

Credits can be an even more effective way to lower your payment or increase your refund. While deductions reduce your total taxable income, credits decrease the amount of taxes you owe. Our team stays up to date to ensure we claim every deduction and credit available to you.

Payroll Taxes

Payroll taxes represent the largest segment of taxes for most businesses. Most companies must submit these taxes every quarter. That adds significant complexity to recording your taxes accurately and filing on time.

Tax Resolution for Businesses

With tax resolution, you can resolve unpaid taxes by negotiating a repayment approach that works for your situation. This option applies even if the IRS has audited you.

One of the most important things to do in an audit is to respond quickly. If you do not respond, the IRS may assume you are refusing to pay. You should also promptly identify any documents the IRS has requested and prepare to submit them as soon as possible.

Opening communication is critical. Our team will provide IRS guidance and equip you with a strategy to challenge IRS findings or negotiate a good compromise. That leads to a faster audit with better outcomes.

Individual Tax Savings with IRAs and 401(k)s

Senior couple meeting financial advisor One of the most common and beneficial tax-saving strategies is growing your money through tax-deferred income. Deferred income is deposited into a separate account for growth, and the funds deposited here face no tax liability in the present. Instead, the money is allowed to mature and grow and is only taxed when withdrawn, usually after retirement. This often puts you in a lower tax bracket, allowing you to pay less on the income overall.

Our Port Saint Lucie tax firm thoroughly reviews your financial situation to advise you of any opportunities to lower your current tax burden.

Do I Need a Professional for My Taxes?

Virtually all small and mid-sized businesses can save more money with a tax professional. Our tax experts routinely use their knowledge of the tax code to find tax savings entrepreneurs and business owners overlook when doing their tax filings independently.

If your taxes seem complicated or you feel you are paying too much, it is a good idea to see a professional. Remember: The IRS will not notify you if you don’t take advantage of savings. Putting your tax strategy into practice is up to you – our CPA firm can help.
