Dear [Client Name]:

As the holidays approach and [current year] draws to a close, I want to thank you for your business over the last year. I hope that it has been a good year for you and your loved ones.

To help minimize your tax bill for [current year], I may be able to identify some opportunities for you to defer income to next year or prepay some of next year’s expenses so that you can take a deduction in [current year]. For example, you could pay your estimated state and local income taxes in December, rather than January.
