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.

Very disappointed in the service we received. We were hoping to build a long trusting relationship with a CPA but unfortunately left feeling like an after thought and over charged. We got our return back the night before it was due with a please sign ASAP message. We found an error with the short time we had to review it. We were charged $500 for a simple tax return and when we asked why he didn’t save us money vs the turbo tax option we already tried he basically told us we should have used turbo tax then. Will not use again.

We are a local Erie, Colorado company. We can't say enough about Scott Thomas Lyle & Associates. We worked with Chasely for the most part. She has been amazing in helping us start off on the right foot with our company. She helped us learn some of the important ins and outs of accounting to help save us money and grow our business. She is very detail oriented, personable, professional, and obviously cares about her clients. Thank you so much Chasely!

Let me start out by saying, Scott is ridiculously intelligent and savvy. We set up a meeting in the beginning of this year to potentially hire Scott as our CPA being local in Erie with new business and it could not have worked out any better. Within 1 minute he basically had a plan lined out for for action.
We hired him for filing both our personal and business tax filings. The fees were reasonable, especially considering the excellent service. We plan on a continued relationship an will certainly continue to refer to Scott, Michelle, and his team for their expertise. Truly, one of the best experiences

Its apparent that Scott serves other clients with similar needs to mine because he always has the answers to my complicated real estate questions off the top of his head.
My previous CPA often had to talk to his partners or look things up which resulted in much higher fees.
His “apple to apple” billing is about half of my previous “downtown “ CPA and his work is better!
