My goal is to help you take advantage of all the legal methods available to minimize your present and future tax liabilities.
Timing is the key .
Look into your financial crystal ball to see whether the shifting of income or expenses between 2000 and 2001 might give you a lower combined tax, a postponement of tax, or both. Realize income when your tax bracket is low. Pay deductible expenses when your tax bracket is high. Postpone tax whenever possible. If not, then accelerate income now and defer deductions.
