Frequently Asked Questions About Tax Planning and Compliance

Find answers to common questions about our services

What is the difference between tax planning and tax preparation?
+

Tax preparation is the act of recording what happened last year and filing a return. Tax planning is the ongoing strategy of making decisions now — about timing, structure, and transactions — specifically to reduce your tax burden legally in future years. Tax planning should happen throughout the year, not just at filing time. Bruce Bernstien’s combined attorney/CPA background makes him uniquely positioned to build tax strategy that is both financially sound and legally defensible.

Can a tax attorney reduce the taxes I legally owe?
+

Yes — through legitimate tax planning strategies. This includes structuring your business entity correctly, timing income and deductions, using tax-advantaged accounts and instruments, and identifying deductions that are available but frequently overlooked. The earlier you engage tax counsel, the more options are available. Many clients find that proactive planning saves them far more than reactive filing ever does.

What types of tax returns does the firm prepare?
+

Bruce E. Bernstien & Associates prepares federal and state tax returns for individuals, businesses (including LLCs, partnerships, S-corporations, and C-corporations), non-profit organizations, trusts, and estates. We also handle required state reports and filings, including dealings with state Departments of Revenue.

What happens if I am behind on tax filings?
+

Falling behind on tax filings triggers penalties and interest, and can invite IRS enforcement action. The best step is to get current as quickly as possible under an attorney’s guidance. We can help you file the delinquent returns, address any penalties, and communicate with the IRS on your behalf to reach a resolution that minimizes additional liability. Voluntary disclosure handled properly is almost always better than waiting for the IRS to act first.

Why should a business owner use a tax attorney rather than a general CPA for tax filings?
+

A general CPA’s primary responsibility is compliance — filing accurate returns. A tax attorney who is also a CPA does that and more: they can spot legal risk in your return before it’s filed, structure your affairs to reduce future exposure, and represent you if the IRS ever challenges what was filed. For businesses with complex operations, multiple entities, or significant assets, the combination of legal and accounting expertise in one advisor is a meaningful advantage.
