Best book/resource on reducing taxes?

Post by TopHatFox »

What's the best book on reducing tax liabilities? For context, this would be in a yuppie job/tiny apartment or van combo.

Fun Fact: I recently learned that it's possible to make donations to Goodwill to write off as a deduction. How neat.

You must itemize to take the deduction.

.... to answer your question... this is the best book:

ETA: It is good to know a little about each line item in case you are suddenly presented with an opportunity that is made significantly better or worse because of the tax consequences. For instance, I would be much less enthusiastic about our property management gig if our free rent was considered taxable income.
