Filled with 111 topics to help you reduce your tax liability, this book is a must read for anyone who is serious about keeping more of their money out of the pockets of Uncle Sam! "The hardest thing in the world to understand is income taxes." Albert Einstein Many will agree that Albert Einstein probably had it right; income taxes are complicated stuff. No matter how long you've been preparing them or how our government tries to simplify them, they never really seem to become easier for you to prepare. While some will try to reduce their taxes by taking unscrupulous, unethical and even illegal steps, it should be noted that such actions are unnecessary. There are hundreds of ways that you can achieve tax savings while doing so both legally and ethically. This is largely due to the complexity of the Internal Revenue Code and all of the loopholes that have been inserted into it over the years. This book will highlight some of the ways that you can capitalize on this fact, and in turn slash your tax liability. So no matter if you are a parent, homeowner, investor, landlord, retiree or business owner, this book has something for everyone!
