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.

Over the last 15 years, my spouse and I have worked with countless tax preparers and CPAs. However, we have never encountered anyone as experienced and organized as Dan Hollenback. He is extremely knowledgeable and efficient in how he handles both our business and personal tax returns. I admit filing our taxes is a real pain-in-the-butt due to all the complicated issues, needed clarification and back & forth stuff but Dan handles the pressure well. (Which would seem like a "no brainer" in this industry but I have seen some tax professionals crack). Every time I've emailed Dan

Mike from A&L was so helpful! I am far from being savvy when it comes to taxes, and Mike was very patient and answered all my questions. He went above and beyond, and I really appreciate his help! I would definitely recommend A&L.

A family business! My parents started using A&L in 1962, even traveling to meet with them once a year, following my parents retirement out of the area. I have been using them for a few years now and I am nothing but happy with their service. They are attentive, communicative, and very professional. You won't be sorry to give them a try.

I used A&L Financial to file past due returns. They were fast, accurate, and reasonably priced. I spoke with both Mike and Cindi. Both were friendly, helpful, and happy to take on the work of 5 years of returns even during the busy tax season. I will definitely be using them for my tax needs in the future.

We're back at A&L for another year of taxes. Tax season is usually dreadful... but not with A&L! Mike can get our taxes done and filed within an hour! The team there is super friendly, totally on top of everything AND they have free pens and candy. My kind of place :)

My family has been coming to A&L for years and when it came time for me to do my taxes i felt comfortable with them. They provide fast excellent service and even though they moved they still made it easy and convenient to file my taxes. I would recommend them if you want great service.

Great experience! Great service! Amazing staff! I made an appointment and when I arrived my tax preparer was not there but they wasted no time in collecting my info and assigning me another tax preparer. It was fast and painless. Cindy offered me some helpful information as well! I will definitely use them next year!

I have used A&L services for my business for several years. I tried to set up an employee on payroll with A&L and they cannot due it due to lack of staff . Cindy was very rude and I will never use A&L again.

We've been having our taxes done at A&L Financial Services for three years. They are fast, thorough, detailed, and courteous ... everything you'd need a tax preparation service to be.

The service is personalized. Michael, our tax preparer, took all the time we needed to answer all of our questions. Where there were alternative filing options, he computed those and advised us of the best choice.

We're very satisfied with the assistance we get at A&L and with the business-like approach we've found there.

The one thing we'd like that we don't get at A &

After being a client of A&L for over 10 years I will now find a new place to do business with. They sent my tax refunds to another bank and someone else account. They refuse to assist me with resolving this problem. I have to do all the work to find my refunds.
