Are you ready for tax season?
You might be thinking I’m crazy for asking – or you may even be thinking you’ve got plenty of time.
But, I remember many Thanksgivings when the knot in my stomach grew just from thinking about the schedule and madness of tax season just around the corner.
I’ve got some bad news if you think this year is going to be just like any other year. It’s not.
This year represents the perfect storm of changing tax laws. This tax season will be more complex than ever before.
But there is also some good news.
If you plan correctly, you can help your clients avoid wasting money on taxes they don’t have to pay. You can also help them reduce their audit risk, and all the while, collect tax-planning fees that will make December your biggest cash flow month of the year – even bigger than April.
What makes this the perfect storm?
- Tax rates are higher
- The marriage penalty tax is back
- Your clients may not get all their itemized deductions because the phase-outs are back
- Your clients might not even get all their exemptions because the phase-outs are back
- And that new Medicare surcharge will attack wages and investment income
The Treasury Inspector General says the Affordable Care Act alone represents the largest set of tax law changes the IRS has had to implement in more than 20 years.
And that’s just one bill! There have been dozens more.
Plus, the IRS is closely looking at certain businesses more than others and certain types of investing. That could lead to more audits.
However, this perfect storm also provides you with an unprecedented opportunity to demonstrate just how much you are worth.
And once your clients know how much you are worth to them, they will be happy to pay you a premium fee while working on your terms.
But there’s a catch.
You must take action. You have just 40-days to put proactive tax planning strategies into place that lock in savings for your clients.
Now is the time to convert your compliance-based practice to a tax-planning focused machine that will change the way you do business and make December more profitable than April.
There are 2 ways I can help you.
1) The Missing Tax Planning Manual
The Missing Tax Planning Manual
I’ll teach you how to lock tax savings for your clients — IN 2013 — when you attend my new self-paced video course.
Includes 5 video lessons, each containing proactive tax strategies you can immediately apply for your clients.
We’ll cover:
- Video 1: Reverse the Tax Hike – tax rates are the highest they’ve been in over 10 years – leaving some taxpayers paying in excess of 60 percent! Use these strategies to reduce your clients overall tax as if they were paying the old rates.
- Video 2: Happily Never After – turning the Marriage Penalty into an Advantage. Increase your awareness of the effects of DOMA, changing tax laws, politics, challenges in our system and open up a whole new market to the benefits of tax planning.
- Video 3: The Road Less Taken – itemized deduction phase-outs are back. Rather than going through the limitation, take this road and go around it! We’ll cover how to shift deductions from where they’re not fully deductible to havens where they can be used in their entirety.
- Video 4: Personal Exemption Phaseouts – itemized deduction phaseouts are back. Taking small steps now can help solve the problem and provide your clients with a huge return later.
- Video 5: Shield Clients From the Medicare Surcharge Attacks – starting in 2013, the new 3.8 percent surtax applies to higher-income individuals and their net investment income. It’s a whole new system with a brand new tax and a whole lot of questions.
- Bonus: Debrief and Review – at the close of the course, you and I will schedule a 60-minute one-on-one session to re-review any of the strategies I covered within the videos, discuss client challenges or opportunities in-depth, or other Q&A.
Why did I create this course? Several reasons. I wanted to provide tax practitioners who have considered becoming a Certified Tax Coach with a way to learn something new while being able to look inside and see what we are all about. I understand skepticism – I am skeptical about most things. This is your low risk opportunity to evaluate our curriculum and evaluate me.
And if after the video course, you decide to move on to complete your certification, the $499 you already paid will be credited toward your certification.

Dominique Molina
President and co-founder of the American Institute of Certified Tax Coaches
I’m just like you. I’m a CPA and built a successful tax practice. But it wasn’t always this way. I worked myself to the bone doing everything.
I wasn’t happy. I seriously considered quitting and walking away. But that felt like a huge failure and a waste of my education and experience.
Instead of quitting, I made the difficult decision to begin charging top dollar for my tax planning expertise.
The result? I brought in $580,000 in tax planning revenue in just two years. And I created a client waiting list that was 2 years long.
How did that happen? I discovered a better system – a system that gave me the ability to charge clients what I was WORTH.
I now teach that same system to our Certified Tax Coaches around the country. Together, we have rescued millions of dollars in wasted taxes. Join us.
