He is capable of assisting you whether you are buying or selling a business, determining how to report certain information on your tax return, or are in a dispute with a taxing authority.

1. Decide whether or not you will hire a pro.
If you are going to use a professional, make your appointment early. If you are going to do your taxes yourself, decide whether you are going to use tax software. Tax software can help you find some deductions to which you are entitled and helps you avoid common mistakes.

2. Make sure that your tax return numbers match the 1099s you receive from your broker, employer, or Investment Company.

3. Don't file as "Single" if you qualify to file as "Head of Household". You will get a bigger refund if you file as Head of Household.

4. If you itemize your deductions, you can reduce your taxable income by claiming your donations to qualified charitable organizations. These groups are often referred to as 501(c)(3) organizations.

Whether a taxpayer is a corporation, partnership or individual filing a tax return containing errors can lead to monetary penalties or even criminal prosecution.

Mr. Whittenburg can help decide the best avenues for a successful resolution of a tax controversy.
