Free two-year look-back
A review of your last two years of returns, done for you, for farm and ranch owners and for high-income earners. We don’t just file what you hand us. We go looking for what’s missing.
No cost and no obligation. A second set of eyes, not a replacement for your CPA.
We don't just file what you hand us. We go looking for what's missing.
We work with two kinds of clients: farm and ranch owners, and high-income earners with significant W-2, business, or investment income. We look for every legitimate deduction and credit available to you, not just the obvious ones, and we document the analysis so your CPA can review it line by line.
FOR FARM & RANCH OWNERS
When ranch land is held as a personal investment or a hobby, many costs of owning it may be limited or not deductible.
We look at whether your property is, or can be, run as a genuine operating business. If it is, ordinary and necessary expenses may be deductible, and other strategies may be worth evaluating:
- Cost segregation reviews on roads, wells, barns, and other improvements
- Whether agricultural R&D credits may apply
- Year-round tax planning for as long as you own the land
- Proactive.
- Thorough.
- Within the rules.
FOR HIGH-INCOME EARNERS
Significant income deserves more than a once-a-year filing.
More income usually means more moving parts on your return, and more places for something to be missed.
Professionals, business owners, and investors with significant W-2, business, or investment income often have planning questions that never come up at filing time. A return can be filed correctly and still leave questions worth asking.
We review your recent returns for you and flag planning questions that may be worth exploring for the years ahead, such as:
- Retirement and benefit plan contributions, compared with what your situation allows
- Entity choice and owner compensation, for business owners
- Depreciation on rental and business property, including whether a cost segregation review is worth it
- Charitable giving, estimated payments, and the timing of income and deductions
We don't decide whether any strategy applies until we've reviewed your facts, and anything we raise is for you and your CPA to consider together.
Proactive. Thorough. Within the rules.
High-income+Farm & ranch
High earners who own land
Executive buying a ranch? We plan the land, the entities and your W-2 years together.
Significant W-2 income plus a farm or ranch purchase raises questions that cross both: entity setup, depreciation on the acquisition, profit-motive documentation under IRC §183, and the at-risk (IRC §465), passive activity (IRC §469) and excess business loss (IRC §461(l)) rules that decide how a ranch loss is treated in your W-2 years. We plan them together, in writing your CPA can follow.
We don't say whether any strategy applies until we've reviewed your facts.
WHAT WE DO
1. Ranch Business Setup
When you buy a ranch, we help set it up so the land can be run, and documented, as a genuine operating business. We build the entity structure and operating framework, and your CPA can review every step.
2. Section 180 Deduction Reports
We measure the residual fertility already in your soil on the day you acquired the land and turn it into a deduction, backed by real sampling and lab analysis.
3. Cost Segregation Studies
We look at buildings and improvements, from barns, wells, and fencing to rental and business property, to see whether some components belong in shorter depreciation classes.
4. Comprehensive Tax Planning
Whether you farm, ranch, or earn significant income, we run your situation against several dozen tax strategies and build a plan around the ones that actually fit. We look for every legitimate deduction and credit available to you, not just the obvious ones.
5. R&D Credits
Some farm operations and owner-run businesses do work that may be eligible for the research and development tax credit. We go looking for it, and if it is there, we document it.
6. High-Income Tax Planning
For professionals, business owners, and investors: retirement and benefit plan contributions, entity choice and owner compensation, and the timing of income and deductions, reviewed with your CPA.
