Everything You Need to Know About Tax Accountants, Tax Return Preparation, and Tax Planning

What are the roles of tax accountants?

Having a career in tax accounting is challenging because aside from being complex, laws concerning taxation often undergo changes that’s why a tax accountant should maintain familiarity with existing tax laws. These are the reasons why tax accountants should always ensure that their clients—may it be individuals or businesses—are complying with tax laws by means of filing their federal and income tax returns. There are also some tax accountants who are offering advices on how clients should plan their taxes to help them save money.

 

What do we need to know about tax return preparation?

There are basically two types of tax accountants: those who are self-employed and those who are working for financial/accounting firms. Both are specializing in assisting individuals and/or businesses with their tax return preparation. Tax accountants may schedule phone calls or meetings with their clients for them to assess the clients’ financials/tax concerns. During the meeting, tax accountants usually ask clients for some financial documents like paystubs, investment income statements, and others. Tax accountants ask for these documents because they are usually looking for tax deductions and credits for their clients. They also need to determine how much is the actual tax owed by their clients.

 

What do we need to know about tax planning?

Tax planning is important for businesses because almost all corporate business decisions are leading to tax ramifications. Everything should be planned well with a tax accountant because tax ramifications are complex in nature; companies that are doing international businesses usually experience more complexities. This is the main reason why the demand for tax planning professionals is growing, and why most accountants are choosing to specialize in tax planning services. In tax planning, the main objective of the tax accountant is minimizing income taxes by developing a practical strategy around the clients’ financial situations. Aside from internal tax accountants, there are some companies that are also hiring external tax accountants in developing long-term plans that can help the company save money in taxes over time.
