Individual income taxes are probably one of your largest annual expenditures. So, just as you would shop around for the best price for a car, you should consider opportunities to reduce or defer your annual tax bill. Even though 2006 is coming to a close, there is still time to reduce your 2006 taxes and plan ahead for 2007.
Your 2006 year-end planning should begin with a projection of your estimated Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) for both 2006 and 2007. This is an essential element of tax planning, as many tax benefits are tied to or limited by your AGI. Equally important is an estimation of all potential deductions for both years. Together, these estimates will give you a good idea of your marginal tax rate (the rate at which your last dollar of income is taxed) for each year.

The new tax legislation passed by the House on Wednesday and the Senate on Thursday is referred to as a tax cut. That's a misnomer. In fact, the legislation keeps taxes where they are. It prevents taxes from increasing. But a cut? No, not exactly.
