To help achieve these goals, we’re pleased to provide you with our 2008 Tax Planning Guide. In this year’s guide we offer essential information and resources on the latest tax law changes and opportunities.   Some tax incentives are not permanent, so it is important to understand the timeframe available to benefit from these temporary changes. We review key dates for the best savings and offer several methods to help minimize your tax bill.   As well as covering efficient tax planning for both the present and future, we highlight significant reform making an impact in 2008, including:   The start of the zero-tax window for long-term capital gains and dividends, which applies to investors in the bottom two income-tax brackets The increase in Individual Retirement Account (IRA) contributions The expansion of the “kiddie tax” The increase in Section 179 expensing limits for businesses   We encourage you to review this tax guide and call us with any questions.   Our firm is committed to helping you through the tax planning process from start to finish. We hope you will take advantage of our resources in order to maximize your tax savings. Jacobson Brotman PC
