PLANNING VS PREPARATION

Tax preparation looks back. Tax planning looks ahead.

Most sellers only hear from their accountant at filing time, when the year is closed and the options are gone. Tax preparation compiles and files your return. Tax planning happens during the year, while there’s still time to change the outcome.

For a growing Amazon or Shopify brand, that means planning your structure, your salary, your inventory purchases and your quarterly payments with the tax impact in view. Our clients have saved more than $2.9M in taxes with this approach.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between tax planning and tax preparation?

Tax preparation is filing your return for a year that has already ended. Tax planning happens during the year and uses legal strategies to reduce what you owe before the year closes.

When should an ecommerce seller start tax planning?

As early in the year as possible. Many of the best strategies, such as entity changes and salary planning, need to be in place well before December.

Should my Amazon business be an S corp?

It depends on your profit level, your state and how you pay yourself. We model the numbers for your business before recommending any change.

Do you handle both business and personal taxes?

Yes. Planning works best when your business and personal taxes are looked at together.

Do you work with sellers outside New York?

Yes. We work with ecommerce sellers across the US, and most of our clients are outside New York.
