Have you just started a new business? Did you know expenses incurred before a business begins operations are not allowed as current deductions? Generally, these start up costs must be amortized over a period of 180 months beginning in the month in which the business begins. However, based on the current tax provisions, you may elect to deduct up to $5,000 of business start-up and $5,000 of organizational costs paid or incurred.
Following are some generally recognized financial planning tools that may help you reduce your tax bill. Charitable Giving - Instead of selling your appreciated long-term securities, donate the stock instead and avoid paying tax on the unrealized gain while still getting a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value.
It's possible there could be additional extensions, so check with your tax advisor for the latest information. Individuals must pay the third installment of 2021 estimated taxes, if not paying income tax through withholding (Form 1040-ES). Calendar-year corporations need to pay the third installment of 2021 estimated income taxes.

Tom has been taking care of my taxes for years. He is always friendly, quick and professional. I recommend Wagner for anyone who doesn't want to tackle filing on their own.

Our business lost out on thousands to dollars due to they not getting them done. Either gave excuses or never returned calls or emails. Tom Wagner was never in apparently. Use someone else like Fluhr

Wagner has done our personal taxes for years. Each year we receive a pre-tax mailing let us know what is the latest tax information. Our personal taxes are done in a timely and professional manner, along with information on how to handle/ maintain for the current year. When we decided to open up our own Small Business, it was a no brainier to have Wagner included in our journey of starting our LLC, Tom and his staff guided us thru the accounting / tax process. They are always helpful when I call or email and respond in a timely manner. I highly recommend Tom and his staff for not just doing your

Wagner accounting has been helping with my taxes for many years. Tom has guided me through the creation of several businesses, the home buying process, and overall best practices for managing multiple income streams including 1099 and w2’s. Without Tom, my wife and I would be completely lost as we’ve achieved financial milestones working for ourselves. Very few professionals will take the time to educate a client as they perform their services, the knowledge gained from this relationship has benefited me every day in my business dealings. You could not be in better hands for both your personal
