Tax Planning

At Cardinal Tax, our goal is to provide you with strategic tax planning solutions that cater specifically to the unique needs of small business owners and real estate investors. Our approach combines thorough knowledge of tax laws with customized strategies to help you maximize your tax benefits and reduce your overall tax liability.

Tax Planning for Small Business Owners

As a small business owner, choosing the right business structure is crucial for optimizing your tax outcomes. One effective strategy is the election of S corporation status. An S corp can offer significant tax savings by allowing income and losses to pass through directly to shareholders, thus avoiding double taxation. This structure also enables business owners to pay themselves salaries and receive dividends from profits, which can be taxed at a lower rate than regular income. Our tax experts at Cardinal Tax can help determine if switching to an S corp or setting up one aligns with your financial goals.

We also focus on other tax-saving measures such as maximizing deductions, tax credits, and retirement planning strategies to ensure you leverage every available opportunity to reduce your tax burden.

Tax Planning for Real Estate Investors

For real estate investors, effective tax planning goes beyond basic deductions and rental income management. Implementing advanced strategies like cost segregation is a powerful tool to accelerate depreciation. This method involves categorizing property components and improvements into classes that allow for faster depreciation rates, leading to substantial tax savings in the short term. This can significantly increase your cash flow and reinvestment potential early in the property’s life cycle.

At Cardinal Tax, we specialize in performing detailed cost segregation studies to ensure that every component of your property is accurately classified for maximum tax benefit. Our experts are adept at navigating the complex regulations surrounding real estate investments and will guide you through optimizing your tax strategy to align with your investment goals.
