5 Ways to Maximize Your Refund or Reduce Your Bill
- Plan early, file clean. Use a month-end checklist and keep digital receipts so deductions withstand scrutiny.
- Optimize deductions & credits. Retirement, education, energy, depreciation/bonus, home office, mileage—evaluate annually.
- Dial-in quarterly estimates. Safe-harbor targeting, vouchers, and withholding checks to avoid penalties.
- Choose the right entity. Model LLC vs. S-Corp when profits are steady; set reasonable comp and align payroll.
- Fix last year’s gaps. Amended returns, elections, and carryforwards can unlock missed savings.
