Local briefs
IRS choosing different option 1
GREENSBORO ? lfany reams of
paper have been uaed to describe the
ways In which people attempt to
illegally avoid paying Federal taxes,
the Internal Revenue Service says.
In fact, there are numerous ways
in which a taxpayer can save tax
dollars legally. The key to using
these tax breaks is year-long plan
ning. Most of us plan to make a major
purchase, to change jobs or careers,
move to a new location - any number
of life decisions, most of which can
save money.
Tax planning requires careful
thinking on the proper method and
time to do certain things. For
example, if a homeowner is under 55
and wants to sell his house, waiting
for that 55th birthday to sell can
mean an exclusion of up to $100,000 in
profits from the sale.
In another instance, if both a
husband and wife have income and
unusual medical expenses, it would
I
be wise for them to compute their
taxes both jointly and separately to
see which filing plan saves them the
most.
Speaking of medical expenses; '
some taxpayers find it beneficial to
pay expected doctors bills during the
previous year the expenses will be
incurred. This enables the taxpayer
to possibly have enough expenses to
qualify for the excess expenses that
qualify after the exclusion is
deducted. \
All these plans are legitimate, the
IRS says. Bear in mind, however,
that while the law allows many ways (
to reduce tax liability, the IRS and
the courts take a dim view of
fraudulent methods to evade taxes.
Like any kind of successful plan
ning, tax planning takes time and
thought. The IRS has more than 90
free publications to help you decide
whether you can take advantage of
any tax break. Order yours right
away. 1983 is here.
