About
Tax Planning Solutions is a year-round tax planning firm based in Byron Center, just south of Grand Rapids. Instead of looking back at last year, a named tax planning specialist models your decisions before they happen, builds a full-year tax projection before December 31, and then prepares the return.
We focus on households whose decisions move the tax bill: equity compensation (RSUs, ISOs, NSOs and ESPP, including RSU withholding gaps and AMT on ISO exercises), rental and short-term rental real estate (cost segregation, bonus depreciation, the short-term rental rules), business owners with S corporations or partnerships, and crypto or international income. Three of our specialists are CPAs.
Every new client starts with a complimentary tax projection and a 30-minute conversation, in person in Byron Center or by video. About nine in ten of our clients work with us remotely from across the country.

Extremely efficient, detailed oriented and a pleasure to work with. These guys are the real deal- If youre looking to partner with the best, youve found what youre looking for. They have been instrumental in achieving my financial goals, and their strategies has helped allow us to be able to retire my wife as a full-time mom.

Mr. Kuperus, of Tax Planning Solutions, saved us over $1700. The fee was more than worth it. Better yet we feel far more prepared for next season. Highly recommend!

Gabriel and the team did my 2024 taxes and they were excellent. I had help throughout the way and Gabriel answered all my questions extensively.
Could not recommend them more.

We’re very happy with Tax Planning Solutions. Blake is our advisor and he’s been great to work with. Very knowledgeable, responsive and a great overall value. We saved well over 50% versus the tax prep firm we’ve been using for years and Blake got our return done and filed within 3 weeks of initial contact. We’re filing on time, without needing an extension, for the first time in 10+ years (some of that was our fault by getting our old firm the info they needed earlier, in all fairness).
Plus TPS has a sister company that provides financial planning services, of which we’ll be taking advantage.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every new client starts with a complimentary tax projection and a 30-minute conversation. Ongoing tax planning is a monthly retainer starting at $100 a month, and individual return preparation starts at $500; business returns are priced by complexity. You will know the fee before any work starts, and our website has a pricing calculator.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1) A 30-minute fit conversation by video or in our Byron Center office. Bring your most recent return and the decisions coming up this year. 2) A complimentary tax projection so you can see where you stand. 3) If planning will pay for itself, you are matched with a named tax planning specialist who models decisions before they happen, updates your full-year projection before December 31, and prepares your return afterward.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our team of tax planning specialists includes three CPAs, one of whom also holds an MBA. Each specialist works equity compensation, real estate or business-owner situations every week, and the team trains together on current tax law so projections reflect the rules for the year you are in.
