Don't Get Killed on Taxes

Many people get killed on their taxes each year, but that doesn't have to be your story. The average person doesn't need a degree in business or accounting to avoid paying too much in taxes-they simply need to discover their misconceptions about taxes and create a plan to reduce those taxes over time.

They share five simple building blocks that can save money and reveal twenty of the most common tax strategies to substantially reduce an individual's tax burden. Taxpayers have been conditioned to believe myths about taxes that are simply not true, such as: "Taxes are a fact. I have no control over how much I pay." "As long as I get a refund, I've won."

Motivated readers who apply DiNuzzo and Jarvis' strategies will: Reduce their tax rate Optimize tax deferred and tax free investments Create a "paycheck" -one that will last the rest of their lives Capture every benefit they're entitled to Pay substantially less in taxes.
