2013 Year-End Year-Round Tax Planning Guide

The enactment of The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA) at the start of 2013 has made year-end tax planning something of an exercise in "back to the future." ATRA made permanent some tax provisions that were set to expire, extended other expiring provisions, brought back some old rules that haven’t applied in a few years, and kept some changes scheduled to go into effect in 2013.

As you read through Year-End Tax Planning for 2013, you’ll find helpful explanations of the current federal tax rules, tax tables, and a worksheet you can use to make a preliminary estimate of your 2013 taxable income. Perhaps most important, the guide also offers dozens of tips for lowering your personal and business taxes, but because the federal tax law is complicated, we suggest you secure professional tax advice before acting on any of the ideas presented in the guide.
