The best one I know of is real estate - writing off interest.

There are tons of others. Let's go...

Nothing in the world beats an investment held for over 1 year - you can make 10 mil and pay 15% to taxes.

Seymour - that's for sure...

I'm looking for ways to not give the government 40% or so of a relatively large yearly bonus. It seems the best way I've found so far is to buy more home than I need... I'm also looking at starting some business that might lose for a while while ultimately being profitable...

BTW, if the democrats are gonna become president you better flip your investment and reset the basis before that 15% becomes 25 or 30!!!

Let's just hope we get a normal Republican elected then - like Rudy - I think I'd even rather have more of Bush if a new adminstration plans on fucking with the current rate for long term gains

Basically when you sell an investment property you can defer all taxes on that sale if you roll the money into another investment property. The deferred payment is not due until you sell the second property.

Say you make a $100K (estimated $20K capital gain) on investment property A, if you use the money to purchase investment B, and hold on to that property for 20 years, your deferred payment ($20K) remains what it would have been if paid at the time of sale of property A.

Race Horses,the government doesn't want horse racing to go away for obvious reasons therefore everthing you spend on this industry is tax dectuctible.

Thats why it;s a rich mans game,if not for the write off these millionares wouldn't waste thier time and or money.

For us low rollers-- max out 401(k)--

Legitimate home based business is another good one but consult your tax person.
