Have you just started a new business? Did you know expenses incurred before a business begins operations are not allowed as current deductions? Generally, these start up costs must be amortized over a period of 180 months beginning in the month in which the business begins. However, based on the current tax provisions, you may elect to deduct up to $5,000 of business start-up and $5,000 of organizational costs paid or incurred. The $5,000 deduction is reduced by any start-up or organizational costs which exceed $50,000.
Following are some generally recognized financial planning tools that may help you reduce your tax bill. Charitable Giving - Instead of selling your appreciated long-term securities, donate the stock instead and avoid paying tax on the unrealized gain while still getting a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value.

Jeff was wonderful and efficient. He made everything so easy. What we thought was going to be a nightmare tax situation turned out to be way easier than we thought and Jeff took away so much stress! He actually made it entertaining and educational which was such a welcomed surprise!

I am so very grateful to have found Jeff to help with my taxes. He's professional, direct, knowledgeable, timely and made me feel listened to and taken care of. As a Commercial Real Estate Agent, I'm a 1099 employee, and Jeff has guided me through and explained thoroughly what deductions I'm entitled to, which things I cannot deduct and what documents I need to save/provide him to best prepare my taxes yearly.

I highly recommend Jeff. He speaks honestly and does not over promise and under deliver: he does exactly what he says he will do within the timeline he promises. Thank you, Jeff for being you!

Critical: Professionalism, Quality Jeff was immediately unprofessional once he answered the phone and was constantly rude and unhelpful throughout the phone call, cutting me off as I was trying to speak. Very unprofessional.

Mr Craft did an excellent job filing my taxes. Not only is he professional but also has a great sense of humor. He went out of his way to achieve the best result and get me the best possible refund. I will be using Mr Craft for my taxes next year and highly recommend his services!

I contacted Craft & Company to do my taxes. I Initiated contact through Yelp, I received a response pretty quickly from Mr Craft with his number to reach out. And I did. And I did. And I did. The receptionist took my number and name several times (that was a fun story, I've never had anyone need me to say and spell C L A I R E six plus times- I finally told her I don't care what name she put down, just call me). No calls, nothing. Two Stars because at least I had contact from 2 humans.

Mr. Craft and his team have been instrumental in the growth of my small business. He guided me through the process of forming my business and assisted with many tax filings. He exhibits a diligent work ethic and everything is always completed in a timely and organized fashion, while still maintaining a personal feel. Mr. Craft has always made himself available to answer my questions and I have always been afforded nothing less than his full attention. I finally feel confident in my tax situation and highly recommend Craft and Company to anyone looking for a competent accountant in the Tampa Bay Area.

Absolutely amazing! Mr Craft is professional and highly knowledgeable, but at the same time approachable, very nice and personable. They literally got us 4x more on our tax refund than last year. Their fee was very reasonable also. Very nice building and well organized office with polite staff. Highly recommended

Craft and Company has been doing my accounting and tax preparation for countless years. It is with great pride I give this company a 5 star review, based on the fact we have new tax laws arising every year, and this one in particular. Jeff Craft (the owner of Craft and Company) never puts important maters aside, but is always quick to contact the client at that moment, even if it is in the middle of tax season.

I commend you for your great work ethics, Mr. Craft, and as my son takes over the business in the year 2019 I hope he follows my lead and that you live another 30 years so that he may follow yours. Thank you for your great service, Dennis Flores / Daniel Flores- Owner / Vice President Stay Dry Roofing of Tampa Bay Inc.

My husband and I just moved to Tampa and were filing income from three states as well as starting a new business. Needless to say, I was a bit nervous about what the tax filing would look like. I met with Jeff Craft a few months before he filed our taxes and he gave me practical advice and forms to assist me in preparing for what we would need. Mr.

Craft is knowledgeable, helpful with great suggestions and will also give advice in very "user friendly" ways. Mary, the office manager, friendly, professional and quick to respond. You really feel like you are supported by this team. In my 25 years of working with accountants, he is the best and easiest I've ever worked with. Trusting and being comfortable with an accountant, that is a good feeling! I highly recommend him.

I'm new to the Tampa area and I needed some help with my taxes this year. Did some research and found Jeff Craft on Yelp. He is knowledgeable, professional and funny! Most importantly he was able to not leave anything out when it came to my refund. Definitely recommend him and his staff.

Wouldn't do my taxes anywhere else in the state of Florida. Not only does Mr. Craft do an excellent job filing our taxes, he also intentionally gives financial wisdom for the season of life you're in. Professional and relational - what more could you ask for.

Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He has helped me and my family for years with our personal tax returns. On top of putting money back into our pockets, he has years of advice and sage wisdom that has put my family on a path to success. I highly recommend Jeff for any bookkeeping, accounting, tax preparation, college planning, retirement planning, etc. He even has a bowl of chocolates for his clients! Great guy, wonderful staff, and I always feel like family when I am there. Thank you for all you do!

Stopped by this place for notary services on three separate occasions. It's apparently never open.
