Dear Taxpayer: We are contacting you because of the urgency of your tax situation. While the recently passed tax cuts provide relief for most Americans, they also contain some little-known provisions that may actually increase your taxes. Even worse: While all eyes have been focusing on the tax cut proposals, the IRS has quietly gone back to business as usual. In fact, tax preparers across the country report that the agency has resumed its harassment and oppression of taxpayers. For many Americans, this means that the next tax season will be a nightmare. However, thanks to new information that has never before been made public, you can avoid IRS hassles... while paying less income tax than ever before. Here are the details: Recently, 26 of the nation's greatest tax experts got together in New York City for a private, closed-door meeting. These experts aren't just your average CPAs. They're "top guns" who charge up to $350 an hour They all took time out of their busy schedules to get together. Why? Because the information they exchanged at that secret meeting is helping them save fortunes for their clients. You see, it takes a gathering like this one to uncover all the loopholes in the new tax laws. These are loopholes that Congress never intended when they passed the laws. And they're loopholes that your accountant could never discover on his own That's where we at Bottom Line Publishing come in. We talk to these experts. More importantly, they talk to us. And only to us. We take their tax-saving discoveries and advice and compile it into a private bulletin called TAX HOTLINE. To introduce you to TAX HOTLINE, I'd like to send you a FREE copy of a confidential report called The Experts' Guide To Slashing Your Taxes. The Experts' Guide is a giant, 62,000-word manual packed with hundreds of ways to slash your taxes and pocket thousands of extra dollars a year. For example... Get An Interest-Free Loan From The IRS! Most taxpayers allow too much tax to be withheld from their paychecks... then file for a refund and get their money back. In effect, they're giving the IRS an interest-free loan. Well, why not do the opposite? Simply amend your W-4 form so that you're purposely under-withholding. Take the extra cash and use it as you see fit. Then pay back the "loan" later in the year by increasing your withholding to cover the shortfall. Since the government treats withholding as if it had been taken evenly throughout the year, you pay no interest or penalties! That's just one way to get interest-free cash. You'll find two others in your copy of The Experts' Guide To Slashing Your Taxes. To get your FREE copy, just click here! The Stock Market Declines: Thanks to a quirk in the tax law, you can use stock market declines to give yourself TAX-FREE retirement income! Here's how: As you probably know, all the money you have in your IRA will be taxed as ordinary income when you take it out. And as you probably also know, there's now a new kind of IRA called a Roth IRA... which lets you take out money tax-free. There's a big catch, though. If you want to convert your existing IRA into a Roth IRA, you have to pay taxes on the money now. So if you're in the 35% tax bracket and want to convert your $50,000 IRA into a Roth, it'll cost you a hefty $17,500 to do so! What do you do? Simple: Convert to a Roth after major market declines! If these declines cause the value of your $50,000 portfolio to drop to $30,000, you'll save a whopping 40% when you convert. But here's the best part: When the stock market rebounds and your portfolio goes back to $50,000, you will have kept yourself from ever having to pay taxes on the $20,000 difference. Plus... any and all future gains will also be tax-free! So whether you end up with $60,000... $80,000... $100,000... or more, you can tap into that money throughout retirement and not pay a single dime in taxes! Claim Your Parents As Dependents The Tax Code says you can claim someone as a dependent only if you provide more than half that person's support. But there's a little-known loophole that lets you get around the 50% requirement... If you and your siblings share the cost of supporting your parents, you can take turns claiming them! All you have to do is decide who gets to claim them this year, then let the IRS know by filing Form 2120. Every year thereafter, simply refile the form and change the person who claims the exemption!

Here's how to get it from your IRA The Tax Code says that if you withdraw money from a regular IRA before age 59½, you have to pay a 10% penalty tax. But it also says that NO penalty is owed if you take the money out in the form of an annuity But here's how to get that cash all at once. Just take out a home equity loan of up to $100,000... then use the annuity payments from the IRA to pay the mortgage. The annuity payments are taxable income, but since the interest payments on the mortgage are tax deductible, they offset your taxes. Depending on interest rates and your life expectancy, you can end up taking the money tax-free! DOUBLE Your Tax Deductions The Tax Code says you can deduct miscellaneous deductions only if they are over 2 percent of your Adjusted Gross Income... and medical expenses only if they're over 7½ percent of your income. But exceeding these limits is easy when you use a simple technique called "bunching." Here's how it works: In years when you don't think you'll exceed the limits, you pay as few expenses as possible. For example, you put off paying year-end bills until January. And you shift your end-of-the-year charitable giving to January, too. In years in which you think you will go over the limits, you bunch together as many expenses as you can from the previous and following years. For example, you prepay January's bills in December. Or you schedule elective surgery for this year instead of next. What you end up with is a two-year approach: In Year 1, you bunch together expenses, and itemize the deductions. In Year 2, you spend as little money as possible and take the standard deduction instead. Result: In Year 2, when you have practically zero expenses, you still get the standard deduction of $4,750. And, in Year 1, you end up deducting far more than you normally would have. Bunching is a great way to increase your deductions. But you know what? It's just the tip of the iceberg. That's because there are dozens of legal tax deductions that you've probably never heard of. You'll find them in your FREE report, The Experts' Guide To Slashing Your Taxes. Here's a sample of what you'll discover:

Turn $20,000 Into $58,000 How would you like to lower your income tax... lower your capital gains tax... lower your estate tax... raise your retirement income... and help a worthy cause... all with one simple move? Well, you can! The secret is a little-known strategy called the Deferred Payment Gift Annuity, or DPGA. Here's how it works... You make a gift of stocks or other appreciated assets to a charity of your choice... and get a nice tax deduction. In return for the gift, the charity agrees to start paying you income on those assets in the future, usually upon your retirement. In essence, you get to collect income on assets you no longer own. That means: 1) You don't have to pay estate taxes on the assets; 2) you don't incur a capital gain when you give away the assets; and 3) you get a hefty tax deduction now for the generous gift you just gave to charity. Best of all, through the magic of tax-deferred compounding, you get income that far exceeds the amount of your gift! For example, if you give away $20,000 now and start drawing income on it in 10 years, you can get a total income of $58,760!

Well, this tax law provides so many of them, it's hard not to qualify! For example...
These are just a few of the tax credits available under this tax law. There are many more.

Here's the key: Those expenses remain deductible even if the trip is extended for pleasure. In effect, this lets you deduct your vacations. Here are just a few ways to do it...
You book a seat at the convention, which happens to be on a Thursday. But your travel agent informs you that you have to stay over the Saturday night to qualify for the airline's super-saver fare. Since staying over through Saturday results in an overall savings on travel costs, the IRS lets you deduct your lodging expenses for Friday and Saturday nights. Result: You get to deduct 3 days of vacation for a one-day business trip! Let's say you have a two-day business meeting in London, followed by a week of vacation. If you fly (one day each way), you're only spending 37% of your time on business (2 days of travel + 2 days of business divided by 11 days total). But if you sail (five days each way), you're spending 63% of your time on business BONUS TIP: Pay for your trip with tax-free cash! Next time you go away, finance the trip by renting out your home. According to the Tax Code, if you rent your home for under 15 days, the income is tax-free!

If your teenaged child or grandchild is gainfully employed, she can contribute up to $3,000 a year to a Roth IRA. The contributions aren't tax deductible, but at the child's puny tax bracket it doesn't matter. Let's say the child puts in $3,000 a year between the ages of 16 and 20... and then doesn't contribute another dime. If the Roth IRA earns 10% per year, the child will have $1,615,363 when she's 65. And the money will be 100% tax-free! "The IRS Would Have Fired Me One of the regular contributors to TAX HOTLINE is a former IRS agent whom we simply refer to as "Ms. X, Esq."
