Frequently Asked Questions

What is tax planning?
Tax planning involves analyzing your financial situation for tax efficiency. This includes strategies to reduce taxable income, optimize investments, and prepare for future obligations.

Do I need tax planning if I already have a CPA?
Yes. While CPAs focus on compliance and filing, tax planning focuses on proactive strategies to minimize future liabilities. Foronjy Financial complements CPA services by providing forward-thinking financial insights. 

Can tax planning help with retirement?
Absolutely. Effective tax planning can optimize your retirement income by managing withdrawals, Social Security timing, and investment strategies to minimize taxes.

How do Roth conversions work?
A Roth conversion involves moving funds from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. While this creates a taxable event, it can provide tax-free growth and withdrawals in the future. Our team analyzes if and when this strategy benefits you.
