Planning to Minimize Taxes

Taxes are the most universally disliked of all personal finance matters. Rich or poor, Republican or Democrat, southerner or northerner, easterner or westerner, Americans dislike taxes, and they dislike the system that has been established to collect them.

Good tax planning can save you money. If you think about it, every taxpayer can benefit from learning ways to cut their taxes. In fact figuring out ways to save on taxes is as American as apple pie and baseball.

Tax Planning Tips 

  • Familiarize yourself with the tax advantages available to you.

  • If you have a sideline business, familiarize yourself with the tax advantages available to the self-employed.

  • Coordinate your income tax planning with other important personal financial-planning areas, including investments and retirement planning.

  • Carefully analyze any investment or transaction that is being recommended to you or that you intend to make primarily on the basis of tax saving. It probably isn't worth it.

  • Don't lose sight of the role of "old fashioned" tax-advantaged investments like tax exempt bonds and buying and holding stock and real estate.

  • Maintain complete and well-organize income tax records throughout the year. Your tax record-keeping should be coordinated with your personal record-keeping system.

  • Spend some time after tax season with your adviser, if applicable, or yourself, planning to minimize your income taxes over the next several years. Effective income tax planning is both a year round process and a multiyear process.
