Frequently Asked Questions

Do you prepare tax returns?

As financial advisors, we focus on tax planning strategy rather than tax preparation. We work closely with qualified CPAs who handle the actual tax return preparation while we coordinate the strategic planning and implementation aspects.

How do you coordinate with my existing CPA?

We maintain regular communication with your CPA throughout the year, sharing Holistiplan’s comprehensive tax reports and analysis insights. Our virtual platform makes it easy to include your CPA in planning meetings regardless of location, and our technology-generated reports provide a clear foundation for collaborative tax strategy discussions.

What tax planning strategies are most beneficial for retirees?

Common strategies include Roth conversion ladders, strategic withdrawal sequencing, tax-loss harvesting, charitable giving strategies, and optimal Social Security claiming timing. The best approach depends on your unique financial situation.

What technology do you use for tax planning analysis?

We utilize Holistiplan, the #1-rated tax planning software that has been recognized for five consecutive years. This technology scans your tax returns in under 45 seconds and generates comprehensive analysis with visual charts and scenario modeling, allowing us to quickly identify optimization opportunities and clearly explain complex tax strategies during our virtual meetings.

How often should we review my tax planning strategy?

We recommend quarterly tax planning reviews to monitor your progress, assess new opportunities, and adjust strategies based on changing tax laws, market conditions, or personal circumstances.
