Secrets of a Tax Free Life

CPA and certified tax coach Robert Gambardella is the co-author of a new finance book, "Secrets of a Tax Free Life: Surprising Write-off Strategies Most Business Owners Miss."

The book features top advice from tax planners and experts from across the country.

Tips for targeting overlooked deductions:

  • Deduct your children's expenses like soccer cleats and private school tuition by hiring them to work in your business.
  • Know whether or not your 401k may be plotting against you and select a retirement plan that allows you to "choose" the tax rate you want to pay.
  • Beat rising health care costs by lets your business reimburse you for your family's uninsured medical expenses
  • Win the game without breaking the rules -avoid an audit by playing fair.

The problem today is people are wasting over a billion dollars a year in taxes they don't have to pay. Generally they are doing one of two things wrong:

  1. They aren't seeking proactive advice to take advantage of every available deduction, credit and break.
  2. They're just getting bad advice.
