Hi, I am not a tax law expert or advisor, but I have to pay taxes just like most people, so I tend to read about this stuff.

I would like to use this thread to gather information about the tax changes that passed ands strategies to deal with them, because they are in fact quite significant to the average machinist and machine shop owner. People that read / post here on tax ideas should keep in mind that I am talking about following the tax laws, but using the wild and crazy ideas of our congress to pay only our fair share.

Again, this is not anyone's "formal advice" just people's ideas, similar to comments people make about wood or metal cutting strategies.
