Texas has no state income tax. Federal planning still matters.
Many Cedar Park households earn through tech employers, small businesses, or investments, and that brings questions a simple return doesn't answer. When should you sell company stock? Is a Roth conversion worth it this year? How much should you pay in estimates?
Planning looks at those questions before the year ends. We project your tax, test a few scenarios, and give you clear recommendations to share with your financial advisor if you have one.

Common questions about tax strategy & planning
Do I need planning if I only have a W-2?+
Maybe not. Planning helps most when there is equity compensation, self-employment income, rentals, or a major life change.
Will you work with my financial advisor?+
Yes. With your permission we coordinate so investment and tax decisions line up.
When is the best time to plan?+
Before year-end, ideally by early fall. Some moves, like Roth conversions, must happen by December 31.
