Tax Reduction Planning & Tax Consulting in Oregon
That’s why our professional Oregon tax advisors research and create customized plans to each of our clients’ individual situations with strategic tax planning and recommendations to reduce their tax burden.
What are Tax Reduction Strategies?
Tax reduction strategies are techniques that legally reduce your taxes by lowering taxable income, increasing deductions, and taking advantage of tax credits to gain a competitive advantage. Our goal is to move our clients from the 40% plus tax bracket to 20% or less.
One of the key ways to reduce taxes is to properly spread out your tax liability over multiple years when large liquidity events like the sale of a business or large one-time asset sale takes place.

5 Tips for Ensuring Maximum Tax Deduction
Live in a tax-friendly state
According to federal law, states are barred from taxing residents on retirement benefits from another state.
So, you can employ one of the best tax retirement account reduction strategies of earning a pension in a high-tax state and relocating to a no-taxation state to prevent state taxation on that income.
Maximize your social security benefits
Should you delay receiving your social benefits until age 70 or take it earlier? What about your spouse? Those decisions can have a big impact on your tax bill. This is especially true when you are required by law to start taking your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from you and your spouse’s IRA. Analyze your situation to see which strategies make the most tax sense.
Contribute to your retirement plan
This is one of the most valuable tax reduction strategies for pre-retirees and retirees. The money you contribute to your retirement accounts is not considered taxable income. So by contributing towards retirement, you benefit from short- and long-term tax savings. W-2 employees can sock away $22,500 per year and an additional $7,500 for those over 50.
If you happen to own a business or receive 1099 income you could potentially save up to $73,500 in 2023. Business owners could further add to their savings using a defined benefit plan on top of their 401k plan that could potentially add an additional $265,000 in 2023. Of course, restrictions apply so read the fine print or talk to an experienced tax planning advisor.
Roth 401(k)
With Roth 401(k)s, you can save up tax-free investment growth and make tax-free withdrawals if you’re up to 59 ½ years old and your account is at least five years old.
The investment earnings in the account are not taxed yearly, and you can withdraw the balance tax-free in retirement. Plus, by properly coordinating your Roth withdrawals with your taxable, IRA and social security benefits you’ll be able to avoid any unintended tax consequences.
Reassess your investments
Consider employing tax loss harvesting strategies for your taxable investment management strategy to save on taxes today and in future years. Are you aware of the investment strategies that are designed to match the returns of index funds while at the same time produce annual tax losses between 5, 10 or even 20 percent? These tax losses can be used in the current year or be rolled forward to accumulate for a future year when a high tax liquidity event is expected.
Our Tax Planning and Consulting Services
Tax Research
Our advisors research and stay current on taxation laws to ensure they make informed decisions. We use a multi-layered approach that combines different legal tax strategies to maximize your savings.
We explain the rules and how they will apply to a wide variety of situations like your real estate, business, and income all while staying compliant to achieve efficient tax planning results.
Planning
We offer proven, precise strategies to reduce your IRS tax and state obligations. In most cases, we’ll use side-by-side comparisons of different tax strategies so you can see the savings that each one or a combination provides.
Are you a candidate for Opportunity Zones, cost segregation or possibly a deferred sales trust? We’ll look at these and a host of others to see what’s the best option for you.
Tax Credits & Deductions Consulting
Interactive Wealth Advisors will help you identify and take advantage of government-approved tax-saving opportunities. These credits can be offered at the state or federal level.
Remember a credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in your taxes compared to a deduction, which just lowers your taxable income.
There are multiple ways to reduce your tax bill to help you and your business save and function more efficiently.
Tax Bracket Stuffing
Our professionals help you understand when and how to report your income and expenditures so you are maximizing your tax deductions. We’ll make sure you’re using each tax bracket to its optimum use to help you avoid or limit surprises like the 3.9% net investment income tax.
Our comprehensive knowledge of the tax code can help you minimize and more importantly avoid conflicts with the IRS, and your state tax agency.
Capital Expenditures
When you acquire fixed assets like lands, buildings, or equipment, you are able to expense these assets over their useful life through depreciation. This can be anywhere from 5 years to 27 years. However, there are ways to accelerate this phantom expense to further reduce your taxes.
Working with our professional advisors we’ll help you accelerate your deductions and make better business decisions in concert with your personal taxes.
What are the Key Components of Effective Tax Deduction Strategies?
The standard deduction decreases your income by $27,700 if you are married and filing jointly for 2023. Other different deduction amounts depend on the filing status.
