have NO IDEA what type of income is likely to roll in in the future... I'm involved with 2 startup companies and have all of the above in various investments... haven't figured the breakdown and don't care... got accountants for that. Dude! You are changing you story now. Before it was just interest and Capital Gains, and you didn't keep receipts. Now you are involved with 2 startups, and you have "accountants" to take care of everything. Do your accountants know you don't have any receipts? Does the IRS know you don't have any receipts? You claim that you could have been "much more aggressive" with your taxes, but are not. I hate to tell you, but anyone that files tax returns and does not keep receipts to justify your deductions is more than "aggressive", it is "stupidity". If your accountants are participating in this activity, then I can assure you that they are being "very aggressive". I have accountants that know that... I can't be bothered. :)) But I HAVE spoken with them... and in a few 'big years" I DO know I was surprised how little I paid in taxes... :)) So you are not worried about paying "higher taxes" because your accountants will "take care of it"¿ Well, for many of us, we don't play quite that "loose" with our Federal Tax Documents. So while our accountants are aggressive to make sure we take "every legal deduction". They also guarantee that we maintain receipts to verify our deductions. PCSTEL
