WiscoREIA Green Bay: Mastering Tax Planning!

Mastering Tax Planning: Protect Your Wealth and Your Deals!

In 2024, we're seeing a surge in IRS liens and garnishments, making effective tax planning more crucial than ever. The IRS is ramping up collections, and it's essential to navigate these waters with confidence. Here’s what Amy will cover:

1. Tax Planning, Not Paying: Focus on strategic tax planning to minimize your liabilities. 

2. Ensuring Proper Tax Structures: Ensure you have the right entities in place. 

3. Choose the Right Tax Preparers and Bookkeepers: Collaborate with experienced professionals who understand the intricacies of tax regulations. 

4. Common Deductions People Miss: Don’t leave money on the table! 

5. Dealing with Increased Collections: If you find yourself facing collection actions, know your rights.

6. What to Do If You Get a Notice from the IRS: Don’t panic! 

7. Handling IRS Liens and Garnishments: If an IRS lien or garnishment threatens your business deals, act quickly. 

The key to thriving in today’s tax landscape is knowledge and preparedness. Equip yourself with the right resources, and don’t face the IRS alone.

I kicked off my real estate career as an investor in 2012 with a spontaneous decision to rent out my Madison condo.  I became a property manager within 24 hours of posting... with a lease from the internet and sheer luck.  

I found REIAs later in my career and am thrilled to be one of the WiscoREIA hosts in my hometown, Green Bay.  I was also on the board of the Fox Valley Apartment Association in 2023/2024.  

As an investor, I focus on flipping/renting single families in the Fox Valley. I am also an investor-friendly real estate agent and own Fox Valley Staging and Design - a property design business that specializes in remodels, listing preparation, short term furnishing, and interior design.  

I'm a proud Green Bay native now living in Appleton with my two adventurous boys, Damian and Bryce.
