The truly rich don't deserve all the political hype we hear; they're only a tiny percentage of our population and not that important. According to recent U.S. Treasury statistics, the top 1 percent of income earners have an adjusted gross income that starts around $300,000. While $300,000 or $400,000 a year is nothing to sneeze at, it's a far cry from being rich; it's not even yacht-and- Gulfstream-jet money. The truly rich Americans are those with assets like Bill Gates ($46 billion), Warren Buffett ($43 billion) and Paul Allen ($21 billion). All told, there are about 275 Americans in the billionaire club. Having just a couple of million dollars in assets won't get you much respect as a rich person.
The 99 percent-plus of the rest of us can safely ignore the truly rich. Our atten...

Many CPAs focus on areas other than taxation. Nonetheless, CPAs can expect to occasionally encounter tax issues, some posed by clients or others who assume all CPAs are tax experts, and some arising from work on primarily nontax matters. Indeed, the Internal Revenue Code's complexity, breadth, and continual revision make staying current a daunting task, even for tax specialists. What follows is a logical tax planning approach that embraces four fundamental tax concepts: 1. There is a uniform formula for determining individual federal income tax liability. 2. Different types of income receive different tax treatment. 3. Different types of taxpayer expenditures receive different tax treatment. 4. Tax planning generally involves reducing taxable income or reducing the effective tax rate. W...
