  • 2012 Mid-Year Tax Planning

    Tax Planning Once tax filings are taken care of for the prior year, there is always the temptation to tuck current taxes away until the end of the year, when the tendency is to focus on tax strategies that can be executed quickly because of the short period of time remaining.
