SUMMARY:
Finding a CPA
If you are not doing your taxes yourself, how do you find the right person to do them? Like attorneys, CPAs are specialists in different areas. There are bookkeepers, auditors, tax preparers, corporate CPAs, etc. You have to find someone who will be the best fit for you and your situation.
Donor Advised Funds
These entail giving from your heart and strategically doing so. You can essentially run your own family non-profit by choosing your charity of choice or giving to an organization. There are many donor advised fund options.
Tax Credits That Help the Community
Most are paying state tax that goes into a large fund. You can actually direct where that tax goes. You could send it to a certain hospitals, schools, or communities if you want to.

We will go over what to do and what NOT to do when it comes to paying taxes in retirement.
