Certified Specialist in Estate Planning (CSEP)
The need for professional estate planning
continues to grow at an amazing pace. Because CPAs as financial professionals
are intimately involved in their client's personal financial
affairs, they can authoritatively advise clients on estate
planning matters.
As such, they are uniquely
positioned to capitalize on the growth and expansion taking
place in the area of estate planning, thereby creating
alternative sources of revenue.

Local QuickBooks
Help

ProAdvisors are typically CPAs, accountants,
small business advisors or consultants who have
been tested and certified on QuickBooks.
Certified
ProAdvisors help businesses customize QuickBooks
for their unique needs and help them get the
most out of the software. ProAdvisors are also a
great resource if you run into trouble with
QuickBooks. ProAdvisor fees are typically
reasonable and many businesses feel the
investment is valuable.
Who are Certified ProAdvisors and why should I
consult with one?
- They're experts in helping small
businesses learn, use, and customize
QuickBooks

- Many are accounting and tax experts
- Many businesses are even more satisfied
with QuickBooks after working with a Certified
QuickBooks ProAdvisor, and feel they are a
valuable investment.

TREASURE IN
TAXES (T'NT)
Discover the potential hidden treasure locked in
your tax return, and past
tax returns. Let me unlock it in LEGAL ways.
Here are some examples of tax savings for clients:
. $80,000
(approximately) Rehabilitation Tax Credit, including
interest income received on the amended return refund.
This tax credit was
split between 3 partners due to the availability of the credit
for a
Downtown Danville building rehabilitation project, and was
spread over a few
years, due to limitations of the Alternative Minimum Tax.
. $60,000 to $80,000
tax savings due to a 01/01/2001 deemed sale tax
election available under the Internal Revenue Code of a
depreciable business
building. This deemed sale allowed a step up in basis,
resulting in larger
depreciation deductions on the business building.
. $$$$ ($5000 to $7000
expected) tax savings on amended return due to
special treatment of coal royalties. Prior tax preparer
treated the
royalties as ordinary income on Form 1040, Schedule E. (see
separate
information on Coal Royalties special tax treatment.
. $$$$ tax savings on
amended return of a relative of the above coal
client, due to special treatment of coal royalties. A
DIFFERENT tax
preparer treated the royalties as ordinary income on Form 1040,
Schedule E.
. $10,000 to $15,000
tax savings on returns to a widow whose husband
passed away.
. $$$ tax savings on
benefits from a business downturn.
. $$$ tax savings and
refund on an amended return due to a Net
Operating Loss "NOL" carryback after business went out of
business. Tax
payer self prepared the return, and wasn't aware of the inherent
benefit in
the business loss.
I don't offer gimmicks to get your business. I don't offer
free sweepstakes
for drawings for exotic vacations, as one large tax preparation
service
offers. I do offer the services of myself, a seasoned 1980
graduate of the
University of Illinois' College of Commerce and Business
Administration. I
graduated in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting, and
have since
earned the Certified Specialist in Estate Planning.
I don't believe there are going to be disappearing professional
tax preparers,
as another Tax Preparer's software manufacturer suggests.
While many people
with simple returns may find do-it-yourself software works for
them, no software
program can replace the benefits of a tax professional who knows
you and your
business. It is my goal, as a seasoned Tax Professional,
to get to personally
know you, your situation, and take advantage, in every LEGAL
way, to
minimize the taxes you pay. There are several examples
above, where I've
basically saved the taxpayer so much in taxes, that for many of
them,
I've paid for my fees, and a few of them for the rest of the
client's lives.
SIMILAR RESULTS MAY BE HIDDEN IN YOUR TAX RETURN.
