Four kinds of taxpayers. One problem: overpaying.
Real estate investors
Rentals, flips, short-term, syndications.
- Depreciation and cost segregation, timed so the paper loss lands in the year you need it.
- Entity setup for how you actually hold the property.
- Selling? We plan the exit before you sign, not after.
Crypto holders
Traders, miners, stakers, long-term holders.
- Clean gain and loss reporting, even when the exchange data is a mess.
- Harvesting losses without breaking your position.
- Mining and staking income reported correctly the first time, so you know where you stand before the IRS asks.
Blue-collar business owners
Trades, contractors, trucking, field services.
- The S-corp question answered with your real numbers, not a rule of thumb.
- Trucks, equipment, and tools written off the smart way.
- Paying your kids, your spouse, and yourself correctly.
High-income earners
$500K and up. W-2, business, or both.
- Retirement stacking: how much you can shelter this year, in dollars.
- Timing income and deductions across years, on purpose.
- A plan for the next three years, not just the last twelve months.
What clients say about working with Joel.
Real Google reviews of Elevated Tax Strategies, word for word.
Hands down the best decision I made in crypto was agreeing to meet with Joel at Elevated Tax Strategies. That is saying something as I have been fortunate to experience success in DeFi. You will not regret using his full spectrum of services.
Joel is amazing at what he does, his passion and heart show through his work. His work ethic is above and beyond what my husband and I were expecting. His communication was top notch and the best that I have ever experienced in this industry.
I can't recommend this firm highly enough. Not only do they provide high knowledge overall, the ability to cater to crypto tax regulations is a very much needed breath of fresh air that I found highly invaluable. I worked directly with Joel and the team.
I had a one-hour meeting via Google Meet with Joel, who was already there when I logged in. We discussed tax strategies for a business I'm planning. Later, Ramon called to check in on how everything went. They were very friendly and knowledgeable.
