The tax deadlines of March 15 and April 18 (and April 19 for the lucky folks in Maine and Massachusetts) are behind us; but it is always incredible how some taxpayers come up with interesting reporting positions during tax season. Every year, I get several phone calls from outside parties doing rounds of opinion shopping.

In these conversations—and when providing the necessary services for clients—the key for us is always a reasonable position supported with technical analysis. Relevant facts and information are integral to decipher and determine appropriate positions. Without them, there is no reason to continue. Rushing to conclusions usually has future repercussions and possible unwarranted apprehensions, while extensions to file can help facilitate time to review and make an appropriate decision. Risk in tax matters cannot be taken lightly. Careful tax planning is a must when considering the multiple thousand taxing jurisdictions in the United States and abroad.
