April 15th is the one day of the year that most Americans dread, tax day. Millions of people prefer to fill out the short form and be done with it. Most people don't know the many tax breaks and deductions that are available to them, all perfectly legal, that could ultimately save them a bundle of money and/or increase the size of their refund check from Uncle Sam. Author Lita Epstein reviews standard deductions and exemptions, then takes readers on a tour of the world of itemized deductions. Content includes sections about the many types of tax credits, education savings alternatives, retirement planning and tax codes, and tax write-offs.
