Now my cell-phone is off while I use a beeper that costs substantially less than cellular phone usage. Many times, a return call from a regular phone costs less than a call from my cellular phone. If you are using a plan with a minimum usage base, change your plan to the lowest monthly rate. You are just as accessible to your office, clients, customers and family. It just costs you less.
Beepers have local, regional or national access.
That is why tax planning should be an all year-round effort. Effective planning today may not only reduce your 1996 tax liability, it can help you lessen the confusion at tax time next year. The sooner you get started, the more flexibility you will have. You should use the information you gathered and the insights you have acquired during the process of filing your 1995 income tax returns as a starting point for preparing a blueprint to improve your tax position for 1996. A little planning now WILL produce significant tax savings for you next year.
