Hire an awesome CPA...you can write off a crap load of stuff...part of your rent/mortage, books, computers, dsl line..etc.
If u want to pay less taxes, live outside the US for at least 180-200 days (something like that)...because u can pay a fraction of what u would inside the US (see Tstones thread in this forum about living abroad and taxes).
Also Ive heard good things about this book (but I cant vouche for it...havent read it, imo a good cpa is the way to go):
PS: also wtf is with ppl swinging from the governements cock about taxes. OMG this guy wants to find a way to not pay anything he doesnt have to. That should be the goal of everyone. imo. PPl need to relax.
