I am a big proponent and teach my children pay as little taxes as you possibly can. Use all means available that are not fraud. So this article is a delight.
Our government in my generation failed me and my kids, they are busy in fighting wars, manufacturing crises abroad, and doing other nefarious things.
Question: can I use the means in this article to avoid my last year's tax? What asset categories are available to invest to defer my taxes, where can I learn more?
On the other hand, having "after tax" dollars that you can invest or spend freely is good too. Software engineers who defer capital gains too long may end up with concentrated appreciated assets. Diversifying results in a big tax bill. Nice problem to have, but still.
