We are at retirement age and are selling our business. We have received a proposal to sell for $1M – $500K down and the second half in payments over 5 years. We would like to minimize the taxes on the initial $500K payment. We would love to hear your ideas on what we could do. And do we need a tax attorney, a tax accountant, or something else? Any specific questions we should be asking of any professional we get to help us? Thanks for your input!
