It's the 5th Month and I want to Help 5 People

Hello High Earners and Future High Earners, It's the 5th month and I want to help 5 people who paid over $25,000 in taxes to significantly reduce their taxes this month. We are 33.3% of the way through the year. Many people feel a sigh of relief after they've filed their taxes, and think all is well until next tax season. That is until they receive that next tax bill. The key to paying less taxes is not what you do at tax time, it's what you do throughout the year. Join Jennifer White with...

Hello High Earners and Future High Earners, There are many reasons why people pay more than they have to in taxes. A few include: They only look at their numbers when they file They don't make quarterly estimated tax payments They aren't organized They don't meet with their tax professional throughout the year They don't understand what's causing the high tax bill so they repeat it year after year. If you wait until you are reviewing your return when it's time to file, there is little that...

Hello High Earners and Future High Earners, EVERYONE has something they aren’t good at. I’m good at tax and accounting because it’s something I’ve done and studied for YEARS!!! If you include corporate payroll, tax, and accounting it’s over 20 years getting close to 30. Add degrees, license, certifications, and countless hours of continuing education. When I started with my business coach I felt so bad and beat myself up because I thought I should know more, and be further along. She said why...

Whether...

Hello High Earners and Future High Earners, We are in the final stretch of the deadline with one week away. Do not forget, if you're unable to file by the deadline please file an extension. An extension to file is not an extension to pay. Your tax payment is still due by April 15th as well. If you filed an extension for a business return, the deadline is September 15th. The deadline is October 15th for individuals. It's still best to file as soon as possible if you file an extension. We are...

Hello High Earners and Future High Earners, It is the first day of the 2nd quarter. That means it's a wrap for 1st quarter, and it's almost time to make your quarterly estimated tax payment on April 15th. Many people use the general rule of setting aside 30% for taxes when you file. If you're expected to owe over $1,000 at tax time, you're required to make quarterly estimated tax payments to avoid penalties. I've seen people pay wayyy more in taxes than they have to using this method. All due...

Hello High Earners and Future High Earners, Many people wait until the last minute or don't file at all due to the unknown of how much they'll owe. Those who consistently receive a refund rush to file their taxes in anticipation of that direct deposit. That is not the case for business owners and high earners. Many dread filing taxes. When they do file they either write a check the size of brand new luxury vehicle, or a really nice investment property. If they can't pay in full, they end up...

Hello High Earners and Future High Earners, First I wanted to provide a couple of reminders: The S Corp and Partnership deadline is Friday, March 15th. If you filed an extension for your S Corp, be sure to pay your state franchise fee (if applicable). An extension to file is not an extension to pay. If you requested your organizer and did not receive it, please let me know. I was told some were not received in their inbox or spam. About those letters.... When you receive a letter in the mail...
