Tax Planning, Preparation, and Filing Services for Individuals

In the USA, nearly all taxpayers have an obligation to file and pay both state and federal income taxes. Technically, taxpayers do not incur an obligation to file taxes until their income exceeds certain amounts. However, in practice, these income thresholds are so modest that nearly all US citizens have an obligation to file both state and federal taxes. The failure to file and pay taxes can create grounds where a failure to file or failure to pay penalty can be imposed. Furthermore, a taxpayer who understands their obligations to file but has questions about business tax deductions and other aspects of the U.S. Tax Code may make mistakes and errors that can result in accuracy-related penalties being imposed.

If you have a business, we can assess your comprehensive financial picture. We can determine if your business is appropriately organized and structured for your financial needs and goals. If you have questions about your responsibility for business taxes the tax, financial, and business professionals at the Cook CPA Group can provide careful and strategic guidance.

Estate Planning Services for Individuals in the USA

Individuals living in the USA often understand the importance of estate planning. Estate planning is not only a key step in building wealth but also an important part of protecting what you already have accumulated. Furthermore, developing a comprehensive estate plan can also allow you to pursue your charitable and financial goals after you have passed on.

It is also important to engage in estate planning due to USA’s community property system. The community property system affects what happens to your property after you pass on. Under USA’s community property system, most property you or your spouse acquires during the marriage belongs to both spouses as community property. However, property acquired prior to the marriage or following the dissolution of the marriage is typically characterized as separate property. Aside from other goals, you should ensure that your estate plan will function appropriately in the USA. We can help assess whether your estate plan needs modifications or updates so that it accurately reflects your financial and other goals.
