We additionally coordinate estate planning, aligning gifting approaches, trust structures, and beneficiary designations with basis rules and transfer-tax thresholds.
You'll comprehend important decisions before proceeding: whether to speed up income or defer it, managing tax losses or gains, optimizing depreciation strategy, weighing entity structure options.
