Model Q™ Tax Planning

Tax Planning

Strategic tax consulting for individuals and families paying $100,000+ in federal taxes.

Stop overpaying. Your CPA tells you what you owe — we build the strategy that minimizes what you'll owe next year, the year after, and for the rest of your life.

The Tax Problem No One Talks About

High earners face tax challenges that standard financial advice doesn't address

Rising Tax Rates

TCJA provisions expire after 2025, pushing rates higher. Without proactive planning, your tax bill increases automatically.

RMD Time Bombs

Large pre-tax retirement accounts force distributions starting at 73, pushing you into higher brackets and increasing Medicare premiums.

Phantom Income

Social Security taxation, IRMAA surcharges, and NIIT all kick in at income thresholds most CPAs don't plan around.

Estate Exposure

Without planning, your heirs face income tax on inherited retirement accounts plus potential estate tax on the combined value.
