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.

Sue Ott has been my accountant for many, many years. Her work is excellent and I trust her implicitly.
Sue is knowledgeable, sincere, conscientious and easy to work with. I am confident that any problem I bring to her will be handled with attention to detail and followed through to completion. The entire office staff is always helpful and friendly.
I recommend Caldwell Ott & Co. most highly and without reservation.
