No, I am not crazy. It is the start of May, and it is EXACTLY the right time to prepare your taxes. Read on to learn why!

Most of these individuals "did" their taxes versus "preparing" their taxes. The difference is an issue of looking backwards (doing) versus forward (preparing). Whether we like it or not, taxes are a reality. Given that, taking the time to prepare your taxes NOW at the beginning of September is one of the best things you can do.

While you may not like what you see, you WILL see it-and you'll be able to make any adjustments either in estimated tax payments or tax-savings strategies to avoid surprises next April.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out and I'll be happy to discuss strategies with you and/or your team.
