About Us

Hi, I'm John:

I'm John Stephens from tax-deduction-tips.com. Hopefully most of you are tuning in to maybe hunt up an item or two you can use to reduce your tax picture of John

burden. That's exactly why we're here. Certainly you can find out all the thousands of pages of tax code at the IRS website. But how are you ever going to hunt through there to find stuff that works for you?

We'll often direct you to a specific page or pub at the IRS site to expand on the details of a given deduction. So if you read the general overview on one of the tips here, if you want to take advantage of it, please go on over to the referenced pub at the IRS site and you'll probably find about ten pages of details about the one page item we've presented to you here. That way you will be on the safe side and and be fully educated and not fall into a trap of taking some deduction that for some reason doesn't fit you.

Now I know there are a group of you folks out there who are a little more militant in your position about taxes and the IRS. Well, that's fine for you but that's not what we are here at tax-deduction-tips.com. We wish you all the best, but tax-deduction-tips.com is about working within the IRS rules to the maximum extent possible to save money on your taxes. We are not trying to urge anybody to just disregard the system and hope for the best. In fact, history has shown that won't work. At least not for very long. The IRS will catch you and you might end up going to jail. So we urge you to play by the rules. Just make sure you use every rule you can in your favor.

I should also say that those of you in complicated tax situations should go ahead and use a professional accountant or tax preparer. But I think a lot of folks go get a professional even though they do not have a complicated tax return. They go just because they are frightened of the IRS. To those of you I say, take heart! Have courage. If you're just an EZ filer, or even if you are an itemizer, unless you have a complicated situation that you cannot understand how to handle, you are wasting your money to hire a guy for four hundred bucks to spend three hours doing what you could have done yourself. Now I realise I'm going against what you will read on every other tax website when I say this. Here's the secret: The people on those sites are the tax preparers/accountants who wants you to come to them and pay them four hundred bucks. That is their whole mission in life. That's why they are advising you to come hire them just because you've get a few things to itemize on your 1040. They make $400 on the deal. So take a careful look at your situation before being frightened into paying an accountant a bunch of money to do something you could have done your-own-self, maybe in half a day maybe a full day. With that, please browse around the site here, you're bound to find an idea or two that will save you some cash when April 15 rolls around.

Cheers,
John
