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).

If you want to cheat the IRS Stuart is your man.
Then when you get audited he leaves u to the wolves. Bad person. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone except to the FBI.
Stu Levy is a bad guy. Doesn't file your taxes correctly or on time. We got audited and Stu left us hanging out to dry. He didn't even talk to the IRS.
Total loser.
Fair warning, he will get you into big trouble with the IRS. He is a cheater too and should be in jail.

I received a notice from the California Tax Board through my employer outlining an issue from years ago. Mr. Levy got on the phone with the State the very same day, fixed my issue within hours, and prevented the state from garnishing my wages. He is very thorough, knowledgeable, and very professional. It was the last time I ever used TurboTax or H&R Block. I'm very fortunate to have found Mr. Levy in Torrance. Visit him for your CPA needs - you will be glad you did.

Mr Levy has been doing our taxes over several years now.
We were in a pinch to get our taxes done when our former CPA, from over 30 years, decided he did not want our business anymore.
Mr. Levy took us in when he had an overwhelming workload during tax season.
Best time to contact him is after April 15th when he maybe a little less busy.

I have been getting my taxes prepared by Stu Levy since 2008. He is very professional. I receive a letter at the beginning of tax season with a check list and organizer. Then I pick up a package when my taxes are ready. Everything is always filled out and filed properly and on time.
Mr. Levy and his office staff are always friendly and quick to return my calls. He explains any new codes that may affect me.
I was referred to him through Rotary and I appreciate his service so much, I have referred him to all of my family and friends.
