TAX PLANNING SERVICES
Tax planning tools come in many forms:
Tax Planning Strategies
Tax planning considers the tax implications of individual, investment or business decisions, usually with the goal of minimizing tax liability. While decisions are rarely made solely on their tax impact, you should have a working knowledge of the income or estate tax issues and costs involved. A major goal of tax planning services is minimizing federal income tax liability.

CPA | Accountant | EA
A CPA/accountant/EA typically thinks of tax planning as doing a tax return for a client and sending them the bill for the taxes due. Some might recommend a SEP IRA or SIMPLE Plan, but they typically do not deal with real tax planning strategies.
Attorneys
An attorney thinks of tax planning as doing someone’s living trusts so the client can maximize estate tax exemptions.
Financial Planners | Insurance Advisors
What our firm does is quite unique. When we deal with tax planning we hit on a number of different topics (many unique) to make sure we are being PROACTIVE not REACTIVE when it comes to tax planning strategies.
Tax planning means different things to different people.
What we want to impress upon potential clients is that if you are not using a firm that knows the above topics and more, YOU ARE NOT receiving the best advice possible.
What does that mean? It means you are paying too much in income taxes and capital gains taxes, and ultimately that your heirs will pay too much in estate taxes upon your death. Aspen Creek Financial prides ourselves on providing tax planning services that put our clients’ best interests first.
Don’t do what everyone else does (the do nothing position), be proactive to protect your money from the IRS and state government. Remember, your number one guaranteed creditor every year is the IRS. Only you, with the help of qualified tax planning advisors, have it in your power to protect your money.
