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.

This facility didn't provide me excellent service. They didn't get me a dime just me owing my entire $30,000 taxes and only getting $800 which $739 goes to the state. Wow making 6 figure salary and not having taxes explained to you but charging $300 is really swell. If you want to get ripped off come get your taxes done here and treated like garbage. Especially, if you're a minority beware!

I have been working with Steve Mitchell from this firm since 2009. I am always so pleased with his fast and accurate service. He makes the whole process easy and gets you back the most money he can by taking a thorough look at all your possible deductions. I recommend him to all my friends!

Steve Mitchell and the staff at Markham, Mitchell & Stroud are great to work with. Professional & knowledgeable, they have prepared our personal taxes for 15 years or more. Not only are the efficient, they have always been available to advise and guide me when I have small business or personal finance questions as they relate to my taxes. I know they are looking out for my best interests while keeping me in compliance with all laws and regulations. Thank you Steve Mitchell!

Markham, Mitchell & Stroud came highly recommended to me from several sources. I know NOTHING about accounting and have to trust that whoever I deal with is treating me fairly. In the 2+ years I've been doing business with Steve Mitchell, he has always explained tax law and my returns to me in a way that is easy to understand and always answers my calls promptly, even during the chaos of tax season. (And he never makes me feel stupid for asking what I'm sure are dumb questions!)
Steve has handled my personal tax returns as well as those for my late father's estate and my mother's trust. On one

In my opinion, Markham, Mitchell & Stroud are a first class auditing firm. They are experienced in non-profit audits which are specific to my own experience with them. They are thorough, prompt, and excellent to work with. I would call on them for any need for a CPA firm.
