The function of tax planning is to select the appropriate tax result and the function of compliance is to reach that result. At Clark Hill, we have broad experience in assisting clients with the multitude of filings and reports required by federal, state, and local taxing authorities.
We frequently advise corporations and individuals about the appropriate reporting of significant business and personal transactions on federal and state income tax returns. We also prepare tax returns each year for individual clients. We have special expertise in the preparation of federal and state fiduciary income tax returns for estates and trusts, and in cooperation with estate planning and estate administration attorneys within the personal legal service group, we prepare and advise on federal estate and gift tax returns as well as filings under various state inheritance and estate tax laws.
