How to Really Save Money on Taxes

Some people may have a misconception on how to save money on taxes. For example, a lot of people may think that a donation to a charitable organization will help them save money on taxes or that spending money for supplies and services for your business will help you save money on taxes. The reality is that business expenses and donations to charitable organizations and other types of expenditures which may be deductible or reported for federal income tax purposes, will only reduce your tax liability, but it will not help you save money from an overall financial standpoint.

If you really want to save money from a tax standpoint and an overall financial standpoint, you have to invest your money on assets that appreciate in value! Types of assets that appreciate in value may include the following:

• stocks and bonds

• retirement accounts

• house and land

• business

• college fund account

• health savings account

By investing in these types of assets, you have the opportunity for the value of these assets to grow which could help you to earn interest, dividends, capital gains which you could save up, pay for your expenses for when you retire, sell the property and land for a profit, make profit from the operations of a business on a year by year basis and possibly the sale of business, save money to pay for your kids college, and finally save money to pay for you and your family’s medical expenses! These are all awesome ways to save money from a tax perspective and an overall financial perspective!
