Book excerpt: We wrote this book with three goals in mind. First, to help you reduce your taxes. Many people pay too much tax because they do not know how to reduce their tax. This book shows you how to plan. It is not designed to tell you everything about tax. Rather, it is a collection of the advice we give that saves the most money and helps the most people. Second, to write a book on tax you can understand. This book explains in easy-to-read language 101 ideas for reducing your taxes. The ideas are short and straightforward. Numerous examples explain the ideas. We have found that when you understand an idea, it is easier to implement. Third, to alert you to current tax planning opportunities. The tax laws are constantly changing. We include in this book some of the best tax saving ideas under the current law to help you increase your awareness of the newest strategies. In this eleventh edition, we have revised many of the 101 ideas to reflect current strategies as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the 2020 Covid relief bills, the American Rescue Plan Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and other recent tax legislation. We included information on many recent changes such as tax rates, "Kiddie Tax" rules, and qualified business income tax deductions. We have again added chapters on recent tax law changes and proposed legislation to give you an idea of what Congress has done and plans to do. We have also included Appendix C, which explains how to look up answers for yourself; Appendix D, which provides a planning checklist; Appendix E, which provides a summary of education incentives; Appendix F, which provides a summary of retirement plan alternatives; Appendix G, which provides a capital gains chart; and Appendix H, which helps you determine if you can claim someone as a dependent. By using this book, you will be more aware of tax planning opportunities. If you find that an idea might work for you, you can research it further using the references in Appendix B. If you use an adviser, you will be a better participant in the planning process. You can mention the strategy and references to your adviser and implement the idea together. Many of the provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act expire December 31, 2025. Thus, multi-tax year planning is critical.--Publisher.
