Tax Planning

Planning is the key to successfully and legally reducing your tax liability. Every financial transaction potentially affects your personal tax obligation. Tax planning and filing can be a significant challenge considering all the different types of tax rules and regulations with over 5,000 taxing jurisdictions.

Tax planning is an essential element of the tax preparation process for every individual. Tax planning occurs year-round regardless of the fact that filing only occurs once or twice a year.

We go beyond tax compliance and proactively recommend tax saving strategies to maximize your after-tax income. Our clients typically pay the lowest amount of taxes allowable by law because we continually look for ways to minimize your taxes throughout the year, not just at the end of the year. At Chawla & Associates, we have the expertise to help you make the best financial decisions for you and your family, with the goal of minimizing your tax obligation.
