This seminar is guaranteed to identify between $2,500 and $27,500 in NEW deductions that can be used right away to pocket thousands in tax savings. These deductions are based in tax LAW, but presented in simple English that all of us can easily understand.

* How to use the tax side of your business to INCREASE your spendable income.
* What taxes really cost you—regardless of your earnings .
* Unique Entertainment Strategies for the Professional Consultant.
* How to Double your Entertainment Deductions.

* How you can help your accountant work more effectively on your behalf.
* Car Strategies—New 2008 $25,000 to $250,000 automobile deductions you don’t want to lose.
* Red flags to avoid to reduce your chances of an IRS audit.
