As Dental CPAs in Southern California, our major duty is our emphasis to educate our dental clients about their legal rights to deduct ordinary and necessary expenses. The Tax Code allows many powerful tools to dentists to legally decrease taxable income and tax payments.
After the Tax Season Is Before The Tax Season:
Although right now in October we are actually approaching the end of the tax season including all extensions and deadlines and look forward for some vacation, our work for New Year’s tax season is continuing. The 2018 tax season is actually fast approaching, and it’s important to be prepared and plan ahead before 2018 is ending to account for income tax decreasing and deferring measures to benefit your dental business and your cash flows. Many CPAs not specialized as Dental CPA, do not knows specific issues and trends in the dental industry and might not be able to provide you with proper business advice.
