Lundy, There are a few credits out there, but I would put most of them under the more trouble than they are worth section of my yellow-pad. For instance if you wanted to rehab slum properties in some areas and then rent the properties to junkies who would un-rehab them for you may qualify for a tax credit. If you wanted to hire one of those junkies to do trades for you, that may qualify for a credit. If you find like me, the most enjoyable thing about working from home is knowing that no one is going to walk into your office 5 seconds after you make a batch of air biscuits. Well if you can bottle the stuff (im trying) you may get an alternative fuel credit. I understand Dennis Kowlowski free to discuss some of his tax saving techniques as well.
Unfortunately the gun method doesn't get you out of paying taxes in your final year either, the rat-bastards (IRS) go after the deceased. Final tax return and estate if necessary........ Man does the IRS suck or what????????
