College Financial Planning
As with all aspects of financial planning, the tax return primarily drives the financial aid forms parents will encounter when starting the college search process. A proactive approach to financial aid can be the difference in a parent’s ability to successfully put their children through college without breaking the bank. We offer families formal experience in the college financial planning process and utilize affiliated college resources.
College Financial Aid
The most important factor for a student when being considered for financial aid is the parents’ Federal Income Tax Return. Proper business and asset structure, retirement planning and placement of income and expenses on the tax return are key factors in considering the student’s eligibility.
