2015 Year End Tax Planning

As 2015 comes to a quick end and the holidays are just around the corner, we at Centric Capital Advisors thought this to be a great time to provide some information on taxes and end of the year tax planning.

The tax code has grown a lot.

278 – The number of words in the Gettysburg Address

1,337 – The number of words in the Declaration of Independence

9,337 – The number of words in the first tax law

4,000,000 – The number of words in the tax law as of 2014

63,908,543 – The number of calls the IRS received from people confused about their taxes in 2014

6,100,000,000 – The number of hours Americans spend calculating their taxes each year

Complying with the tax code takes a lot of time, money and effort. About 60% of people hire a professional tax preparer. Totaled up, our efforts to comply with the tax code costs about $234 billion.
