The Overtaxed Investor: Slash Your Tax Bill & Be A Tax Alpha Dog

Then the so-called American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 makes long-range tax planning possible for the first time in a decade. Because tax rates skyrocketed, it also has become necessary.

Being tax-smart is now more important than ever. In our low-return environment, high taxes on investments gnaw like rats on your profits. Taxes need to be the first thing an investor considers, not an afterthought. Today you have to start with taxes.

Bestselling investment author Phil DeMuth decrypts the 73,954 pages of tax code to show you where the trip-wires lie. He offers simple rules of thumb to navigate the minefield, all in sparkling English.

If you aren’t playing the long game with your taxes now, you are sending a valentine to the U.S. Treasury every April 15 with a needlessly fat check attached. DeMuth shows how to safely pare your investment tax bill down to the legal minimum requirement. It adds up to a small fortune that would be better spent on your life, your family, and your retirement.
