How to Pay Zero Taxes

Totally updated for 2002, this is a tax guide that focuses on how to pay less taxes, rather than focusing on how to fill out the forms and figure out what you owe. Unlike most of the brand-name tax guides, its primary perspective is tax saving not tax preparation. Organized all around the IRS sanctioned deductions, shelters, credits, and exemptions, this book is easy to read, easy to apply, and it zeroes in on what people really care about - paying less to the IRS! Includes comprehensive coverage of more deductions than any tax book, including those related to: child care and elderly care, moving expenses, job hunting expenses, mortgages and points, investment expenses, and 401(k)s. The book is organized into six sections, including: exclusions, credits, general deductions, "below the line" deductions, traditional tax shelters, and super tax shelters.
