COMPREHENSIVE BUSINESS TAX PLANNING & STRATEGY.
If asked, many Minnesota business owners would be more than happy to find ways to reduce federal, state, and local taxes. Significant savings is often the result of proactive tax planning. A tax plan should be a component of your overall financial goals. It lays out financial decisions, how to reduce tax liability, and increase income. For this reason, it is important to partner with a professional tax advisor to highlight the path to savings.
Our Red Wing office professionals will work closely with you to evaluate your situation and recommend the best approach to lower tax liability and maximize savings so you can focus on growing your business. We often discover missed deductions, overlooked credits, deferred compensation planning options, and restructuring opportunities that can minimize your tax burden.

The IRS has been busy. In the past two years, the agency has processed trillions of dollars in pandemic relief funds, adjusted to often-changing tax deadlines, and dealt with several complex new tax laws. At the same time, funding was 20 percent lower than in 2010. Understaffed is the understatement of the century.
How the Work Opportunity Tax Credit Can Benefit Your Business
Business owners are facing operational and financial challenges, including those related to recruiting and employee retention. As of March 2022, the Employment Cost Index for total compensation in the Midwest rose by 5.1% compared to March 2021.
Relief for Employee Retention Tax Credit Penalties
The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) helped employers bolster cash flow and avoided layoffs during the most uncertain periods of COVID.
