Discussion

DISCUSSION

Is it feasible for a prudent investor to reduce federal income tax and even pay zero tax? The primary approach is to plan ahead, and to structure your affairs so that your depreciation and tax credits result in minimum tax.


My software quickly calculates the tax due for each alternative that you provide. Then, through iteration, you can quickly determine which investments will provide the lowest tax and the highest cash return. This software provides the format for data entry from your bank and credit card statements. Then, the software calculates the working papers and the resulting lineitem data for your tax return.


My digital audio clearly explains the approach and the background, so you can understand the relevant tax law. My book provides critical details, important statutes, and dominant court decisions, including examples of tax returns with zero income tax based on prudent investments.
