Complexity has grown with tax law over the years
Taxes are a lot more complex today then in days of yore. When we were colonies, the principle of having a say (representation) in matter of taxation become an established principle.
In today's world, our clientelle need representation provided by knowledgable and competent professionals highly trained in specialty and general tax areas to assure that they are getting all that the law entitles them to. Without such representation, in such a big and bureaucratic system as Internal Revenue, things get lost in the cracks. Would you rather pay the government too much or pay a professional for representation? It is really something to consider. We feel that representation is a valuable service.
Today, it is difficult for the average citizen to understand all of the tax law and potential tax breaks that professionals can bring to the table. At James M. Alga, CPA, we keep abreast of all the latest breaks and work to save you as much as we legally can. We spend a great deal of money in tax training and in professional tax software prepared for an enterprise solution or for a simple solution. We believe in complying strictly with the law, but this does not mean overpaying your taxes due to ignorance of what is legal. The ethics of our profession dictates that we prepare returns accurately and as correctly as we can. If you want fair and accurate tax preparation, then come to our shop!

Many people overlook the advantages of good tax counsel. Planning is important, expecially before financial decisions are made. There are also other taxes that don't involve income. Then, again, some factors like year-end inventory levels (in Virginia) impact income tax expense and tax deferral. Tax deferral improves cash flow and enables the business to use fund and/or earn interest on the deferral. This can reduce debt needed and thereby reduce interest or other financing costs.

- We offer tax planning and counseling
This includes retirement planning, planning to save tax dollars as with depreciation or asset purchase plans, how to structure employee benefits to save taxes, how to utilize and apply for credits (many attribute the fact that the U.S. did not go into another great depression this year to all of the Obama tax credits). It is good to reexamine the legal structure (corporate, LLC, sole-proprietor, etc.) for the very best tax advantage.
