Hi,
We’re halfway through 2026 – which makes right now the most valuable hour you can spend on your taxes all year.
By November or so, the tax year is effectively over, and every decision that could have lowered your bill is locked in – all that’s left is reporting what happened. Mid-year is different: there’s still time to actually change the outcome proactively.
There’s a lot we can adjust in a single one-hour session – and the right move now can save you thousands (or even hundreds of thousands) down the line. Here’s where it usually starts:
- Quarterly estimates – catch up on Q1 & Q2 and lock in the right number for the rest of the year, avoiding IRS interest
- A cost segregation study – accelerate depreciation and free up thousands of dollars if you own property
- Bookkeeping – get your books current, clean, and actually useful
- Payroll – set it up right, multi-state and contractor 1099s included
- Entity formation or conversion – LLC, S-corp, or C-corp to cut self-employment tax and protect your assets. Proper structure alone can result in 10s of thousands in tax savings!
- Moving abroad – the planning to do before you go, not after you’ve triggered a tax bill
- A big year – a business sale, a windfall, a new property, or income that jumped, and the strategy to handle it
- Or just the question that’s been nagging you – what am I overpaying, and what should I change?
Whatever it is, an hour now beats a scramble later. And the timing genuinely matters: you still have six months of runway to put real strategies in place before they lock at year-end. Wait until Q4 and most of your options are already gone.
Reply to this email by Wednesday next week and we will get your hour on the calendar. Bring your most recent return, so we can give you real answers; no generalities.
Sincerely,
