(607NewsNow) — December is a crucial month for both business owners and individual taxpayers. With the year coming to a close, proper planning now can save you time, money, and stress when tax season arrives. Sprague & Jackson is here to help guide you through year-end responsibilities and identify strategies that benefit both your business and your personal finances.

For business owners, year-end payroll reporting is critical. Ensuring payroll is accurate and all filings are submitted on time helps avoid penalties and keeps your employees happy. Sales tax filings should also be reviewed to confirm compliance, especially if you’ve expanded or made changes to your business during the year.

Retirement planning is another important aspect. Contributions to 401k plans and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) can reduce taxable income while helping you and your employees prepare for the future. Sprague & Jackson can assist in reviewing contribution limits, deadlines, and reporting requirements to ensure your plans are optimized.

Individuals should also take a close look at charitable donations, which can provide valuable tax deductions. Keeping accurate records and making strategic contributions before year-end can improve your financial outlook and help support the causes you care about.

Effective year-end tax planning isn’t just about compliance, it’s about strategy. Sprague & Jackson works with businesses and individuals to identify all possible savings, ensure accurate reporting, and simplify what can otherwise feel like a complicated process.
