Hmmm....I don't know if income averaging is still around. Deferred compensation is a category all it's own, however as you allude, it functions in a similar manner, i.e. minimization of taxes.

Deferred comp = I'll pay you $100,000 a year now and then you'll receive another $50,000 a year after you retire.

Income average = a salesman has two great years and 3 mediocre years. He can average the great years against the mediocre on a 5 year averaging schedule and avoid being pushed into a higher bracket during the two great years.
