With the tax filing deadline behind us, now is a good time to determine if there is action you can take today to reduce your tax bill in 2020.

Things to consider

Are you in a lower tax bracket than last year? Consider a Roth IRA conversion for a piece, or all of your IRA.
If you have a Flexible Spending Account, check the balance to make sure you are on track to use it up. Many plans allow you to carry over $500 into the next year. Any unused money will be lost. Check your plan for specific rules.
Take a look at your dividends on your tax return. Qualified dividends get better tax treatment than non-qualified. Are there ways to reposition your investments to get higher participation in qualified dividends?
If you received a refund, consider directing it to a 529 College Savings Plan for your children or grandchildren.
The CARES ACT allows Required Minimum Distributions to be skipped this year, and withdrawals from your IRA may be made without penalty in some circumstances.

They respond to each and every email and phone call the same day and I would recommend them to anybody looking for a good CPA!

Alexandra B.

Duffy Kruspodin, LLP has been our lifeline for developing our businesses for for over 30 years. We wouldn't think of changing direction or making a major decision without their sage advice. Our relationship through the years has been extraordinary. We are genuinely grateful for all the assistance they’ve given us through the start-up, expansion and sale of our companies.

Drs. Gordon and Karen B.

DK has handled my business, personal and family accounting needs for almost 20 years. In that time DK has become a very trusted business partner not only providing excellent accounting services but financial planning, business strategies and consultant services. DK has earned my trust throughout our continuing relationship.

Scott G.

DK has been a trusted partner from the very first day that we are with them. They have always been one step ahead of us in our accounting needs for our rapid growth. The one thing that I will say about DK is their in-depth knowledge and their friendly staff. We appreciate the partnership we have with DK.
