Full Description
The simple truth about tax credits and deductions Many people are so confused by tax laws or so frightened by the threat of an audit that they fail to take perfectly legal write-offs. J. K. Lasser's 1001 Deductions and Tax Breaks solves this problem by focusing on the most commonly asked tax question, "Can I deduct?" Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, this book will help readers understand the fundamentals of deductions and credits, and show them how to go about taking what is legally allowed under current tax laws. Because every dollar of deduction effectively reduces taxes payable, J. K. Lasser's 1001 Deductions and Tax Breaks opens with a clear explanation of the process of gathering and correctly identifying all deductions. Readers will be shown exactly where to look for deductions from childcare and moving expenses to professional and union dues. This comprehensive guide will also help readers reduce the actual amount of taxes they owe by showing them how to use credits when filing their income taxes. Medical expenses, donations and gifts-in-kind to charity, and interest paid on student loans are just some of the credits discussed throughout the book. J. K. Lasser's 1001 Deductions and Tax Breaks covers every possible income tax deduction and credit available to individual taxpayers and will help readers legally save on their tax bill this year and for years to come.
