Secrets The Irs Does Not Want You To Know
By Paul Coffinger
For average Americans, taxes are the single largest bill they will pay. Almost 40% of every working person's wages go to taxes: that's more than most people pay in utilities, rent, car loans, or education expenses. And while the burden of most bills can be lessened by working harder and earning more money, the tax liability only increases, so earning more money just equals paying more taxes.
Most Americans do not realize that Uncle Sam's piece of their hard-earned pie is so enormous. After all, the amount is divided into a number of small deductions: federal taxes,state taxes, county taxes, Medicare, social security, and so on. Each individual chunk looks like a reasonable price to pay in order to keep the country operating smoothly, but when added together the sum is staggering. The majority of people resign themselves to a lifetime of working too hard and to longfor someone else, paying too much in taxes to the government,

and then struggling to maintain a comfortable life after retirement. But they've been brainwashed! The truth is every person can learn to work less and keep more of their earnings, not by cheating the IRS or by hiring a staff of overpriced accountants, but simply by following the American Dream and becoming an entrepreneur.
Business owners, especially those with a home office, have a tremendous advantage over the average working taxpayer. While most people pay taxes on the total amount they earn, business owners only pay taxes on the amount left over after their expenses. Imagine being able to deduct work-related transportation and clothing expenses from a paycheck before taxes come out. Imagine being able to write-off the rent, utilities, remodeling, and cleaning expenses every year.
It is possible. Business owners can legally deduct all of these expenses from their revenue before the IRS comes to collect their fee, and so can you, the average American simply by starting a home-based business. For home-based operations, the IRS treats home and living expenses as tax-deductible business expenses.
While keeping more money in their own pockets sounds like a blessing to most Americans, few people believe it could be that easy and that legal. But it really is. And it doesn't take an accounting degree or an MBA to understand what the government will allow deductible expenses. All it requires is time, organizational skills, and a desire to lower the yearly tax responsibility substantially.
Time is essential. It will require time to set up a home-based business and to begin generating a stream of profit. It also takes time to study the tax laws relating to business expenses. Unfortunately, many people are unwilling to expand the initial effort required. They prefer to make their $5000 the old-fashioned way: by slaving away for forty hours or more a week to make someone else rich. In reality, the time commitment of starting a home-based business is considerably less and is required only once.
