Learning Objective

  • Differentiate deductions from credits and their tax effects.
  • Explain how credits and deductions support tax planning.
  • Discuss TCJA sunset provisions' impact on tax planning.
  • Review the relationship between AMT, deductions, and credits.
  • Identify commonly missed deductions and credits.

Course Overview

When it comes to taxes, the right deductions and credits are game-changers, turning hefty tax bills into manageable ones while boosting your cash flow. But here's the trick—how do you juggle immediate savings with those long-term tax benefits? This course dives into the art of strategic tax planning, focusing on how clever use of deductions and credits can keep your current tax burden low without setting you up for future tax headaches. With the right timing and methods, you'll uncover how to wield these tools for lasting gains.

As year-end approaches, timing becomes the star player. This course reveals how to time income so it falls under the lowest tax rates and expenses under the highest. But that's not the only consideration—if you're in the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) zone, there are even more opportunities to make savvy moves. In the spirit of Commissioner v. Newman, we'll remind you: it's not just legal to arrange your affairs to minimize taxes—it's smart. Tax planning isn't about cutting corners; it's about cutting down your tax liability in the most strategic way.

Major Topics:

  • Tax Timing Strategies Explained
  • Utilizing Credits and Deductions
  • Tax Planning for AMT Cases
  • Maximizing Cash Flow Benefits
  • Overlooked Deductions and Credits

Join us as we unpack how to make the most of deductions and credits. You'll learn how to enhance after-tax income, strengthen cash flow, and avoid the common missteps that even pros make. Let's help you turn smart tax strategies into real financial wins for you and your clients!
