Introduction Americans are paying more in taxes than ever before. No matter where we turn, we are confronted by taxes, from the first time we buy something as a youngster to even after we die. Many thousands of pages have been written regarding taxes, tax laws and how to reduce income tax liability.

There are general tax strategies that could apply to any taxpayer, as well as strategies designed for specialized groups of taxpayers, including self-employed people, real estate investors, business owners, and executives.
