Common questions
Tax planning FAQs
How is tax planning different from tax preparation?
Tax planning considers possible tax effects before or while financial decisions are made. Tax preparation calculates, prepares, signs, and files a return. WealthPlan is not an accounting or law firm; a qualified tax professional remains responsible for return preparation and individualized tax advice.
Does WealthPlan prepare or file tax returns?
No. WealthPlan and its affiliates do not prepare or file tax returns or provide individualized legal or accounting advice.
Can a financial advisor coordinate with my CPA or tax professional?
Yes. Within the applicable engagement, a WealthPlan advisor may consider tax implications and coordinate with your CPA, tax professional, or attorney. The qualified outside professional remains responsible for individualized tax or legal advice, returns, and documents.
Can tax planning guarantee that I will owe less?
No. Tax effects depend on law and individual facts. A decision that lowers one tax amount may affect investment risk, liquidity, fees, future taxes, or other objectives.
When should tax planning take place?
Tax-sensitive decisions may arise throughout the year, especially before a large transaction, retirement distribution, benefit election, business transition, charitable gift, move, or family change. Confirm applicable deadlines with your tax professional.
What information may be useful for a tax-planning meeting?
Relevant information may include tax returns, pay statements, benefit documents, investment statements, cost basis, business or equity-compensation documents, charitable plans, and estate documents. Sensitive information must be exchanged through an approved secure method.
Does the Omaha team provide Nebraska tax advice?
WealthPlan financial advisors may consider Nebraska and federal tax implications within an applicable planning or investment-management engagement, but they do not replace a qualified Nebraska tax professional. Individualized tax advice should come from the appropriate tax professional.
