Helpful Tax Tips & Resources
Simple Guidance. Smarter Decisions.
Here are a few of the tips we share with our clients throughout the year—each one designed to save you time, stress, or money.
For Individuals:
Start early
Early filers avoid delays and receive refunds faster.
Adjust withholding
A big refund may mean you’re overpaying all year.
Know your credits
Look into the Earned Income Tax Credit, education credits, and energy tax incentives.
Report all income
Even tips or foreign income count.
Keep records
Save receipts for donations, medical expenses, and mileage.
For Businesses:
Separate your accounts
Always keep business and personal finances distinct.
Track everything
Small expenses add up—and are deductible.
Understand GET
Most income in Hawaii is subject to General Excise Tax, even if it’s not “sales tax.”
Pay quarterly
Avoid penalties by making estimated tax payments.
Deduct your workspace
Home offices are deductible if used exclusively for work.
