Tax planning is the process of analyzing a person's or business's financial situation to legally minimize tax liability through strategies such as timing income and deductions, choosing appropriate business structures, and utilizing tax-advantaged accounts or credits. It is a forward-looking activity distinct from tax preparation, often performed by financial advisors, accountants, or tax attorneys. Effective tax planning can significantly affect long-term wealth accumulation and business profitability.
