When I start thinking about tax savings strategies I think about them in short, medium and long-term planning opportunities. I look at investment strategy, charitable giving, business tax optimization, and special situations for those in the top marginal tax bracket. Those are the four buckets across those different terms, like a tic-tac-toe board.

“After years of filing taxes with a big tax filing company, I made the switch to ITA and couldn't be happier! I've spent hours on the phone with "experts" that were no help but with ITA, I was given clear guidance and presented with real opportunities to save on my taxes! Ryan and the team know their stuff! I plan on doing taxes with ITA from now until forever!” ★★★★★
