When it comes to filing taxes, are most people PROACTIVE or REACTIONARY?

When it comes to filing taxes, are most people PROACTIVE or REACTIONARY?

If you understand the difference between Tax Preparation and Tax Planning, you would realize that TAX PROS like yourself are desperately needed ALL YEAR LONG. Most taxpayers can save money over what they pay in taxes yearly. But the average person is not always aware of the latest regulations and codes, or how to follow them in the best and most beneficial ways. This is where you come in as their Tax Specialist and Advisor. In a few weeks of study and practice, you can be prepared to help your clients proactively PLAN AHEAD for their taxes next season, instead of simply reacting to last year’s oversights. Proactive and proper planning during the year will give your clients BIG $AVING$ at the end of the year! The time to prepare yourself to become their Tax Advisor and Specialist is RIGHT NOW.
