reduce your USA federal income taxes by year-round tax planning

Reduce your US federal income taxes by year-round income tax planning during the tax year and by utilizing little-known but legal tax-saving strategies.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Read tips about tax-saving strategies.
  • Change how you earn and spend your income and how you manage your investment and business assets during the year to take advantage of available tax-saving options.
  1. Step 1

    Read and study about how you can profit from tax-saving strategies such as tax deductions for your home and vehicle use in your home-based business, shifting investment income to trusts for your children, and depreciation tax and grount rent deductions arising from your real estate investments.

  2. Step 2

    Hire and follow the tax-saving advice of a Certified Tax Consultant, Certified Public Accountant, or another qualified tax advisor.

  3. Step 3

    During the tax year, change how you earn, spend, and invest your income and assets to take full advantage of available tax-saving alternatives.

Tips & Warnings
  • Keep very good receipts and records as to how you earn and spend your income and how you invest your funds so that your tax preparer can prepare a tax-saving tax return, and a tax return that can successfully go through an IRS audit.
  • Only do lawful tax planning and not do anything that constitutes tax evasion.
