We continue to urge our clients to plan year-round.”
Marcum’s 2013 Year-End Tax Guide includes 20 chapters on various tax topics for individuals and businesses, ranging from the impact of the Affordable Care Act to estate and gift planning, and credit and expensing opportunities for businesses.

"Business owners should consider the expiring provisions and plan for increased tax rates, the additional 3.8 percent tax on net investment income, and consider all appropriate tax planning strategies.”
