## Most tax bills are decided before December 31, not in April.

### The April surprise

Nothing from your tax preparer all year, then a scramble, missed deductions and a bigger bill than you planned for.

### Deductions found too late

Depreciation, entity choices and write-offs work best when they're set up during the year.

### A preparer who doesn't know your work

Filing what you hand over, without knowing how real estate or construction income actually works.

**BookSmart plans your taxes all year:** strategy before the year closes, and a return filed by a CPA who knows real estate and construction.

## Built for your line of work

Pick the one that sounds like you.

### Contractors

#### Know what you'll owe before the job closes.

Planned during the year, not a year after.

-   **Year-round tax planning** Tax planning and filing all year, built for contractors and subcontractors.
-   **Estimated taxes planned** Quarterly payments sized to how your jobs actually pay out.
-   **Equipment and vehicle purchases timed** Planned so big purchases count in the year they help most.
-   **Washington B&O filed on time**

### Investors

#### Depreciation, entities and exits, planned together.

From a CPA who invests in real estate herself.

-   **Depreciation handled** Planned year-round, not discovered at filing.
-   **Entity strategy** How your holdings are structured, reviewed with your numbers in hand.
-   **Cost segregation, when it pays** Whether accelerating depreciation on a property is worth it for you.
-   **Planning around a sale** 1031 exchanges and timing, worked out before you list, not after you close.

### Agents

#### Commission income, without the April panic.

A CPA who is also a real estate investor knows how your year actually runs.

-   **Year-round tax planning** Fewer surprises when the return is due.
-   **Estimated taxes planned** Quarterly payments sized to your commission income, so April holds no surprise.
-   **Entity strategy** Whether an LLC or an S corporation election fits your income, reviewed with your numbers in hand.
-   **Commission timing** Commissions are taxed in the year you receive them, so a late-December closing can shift income between years. We plan around it.
