TAX PLANNING

Tax planning that actually feels human

  • I work with friendly people and small business owners who want to be proactive without getting buried in jargon.

  • We’ll look at where you are now—W‑2, pensions, Social Security, rentals, S‑corp, Partnership, SE tax, tax bracket optimization, entity structuring —and map out the handful of moves that matter, not a 40‑page binder you’ll never read.

  • Together we’ll dial in withholding and estimates, decide how Roth vs. traditional and RMDs fit your real life, Solo 401k's, SEPs, and lay out a sane plan for S‑corp salary/analysis, equipment, depreciation, vehicles, rentals, NM PTET, and more.

  • Real estate planning-cost segregation studies, 1031 exchanges, REP status, RE reporting, and more.

  • You leave with a clear, written game plan for this year and next, a short list of action items, and a sense that your taxes are finally aligned with how you actually live and work.

How it works is simple:

  1. Discovery call (15–30 minutes) – You send over a prior‑year tax return and/or current year‑to‑date financial statements. We talk through your situation, and I tell you honestly whether planning is likely to move the needle.

  2. Planning session – We review specific moves for this year and next, anchored in your actual numbers, with dollar estimates where possible.

  3. Implementation & check‑ins – I help you execute (entity changes, payroll tweaks, contributions, timing of big expenses) and we revisit before year‑end so your plan stays aligned with your life, not just the code.
