Tax Planning & Strategies 2026 edition: A Comprehensive Guide for Individual, Business, Professionals, and Global Taxpayers Paperback – January 26, 2026

Tax Planning & Strategies – 2026 Edition is a comprehensive, practitioner-grade reference designed for serious professionals and sophisticated taxpayers navigating today’s increasingly complex tax environment.Unlike traditional tax books that focus narrowly on compliance or year-end deductions, this book explains how tax outcomes are shaped by structure, documentation, timing, and long-term planning decisions—often years before a return is filed, an audit begins, or a business is sold.Written by Anil Malhotra, an experienced tax strategist, advisor, and educator, this book integrates lawful tax minimization, audit resilience, entity structuring, retirement engineering, and exit planning into a single, cohesive system.What Sets This Book ApartThis book is built on a clear philosophy:Tax planning is structural, not reactiveAudit risk must be engineered down, not argued awayExit outcomes are determined long before the exit eventEvery chapter reflects how the IRS actually audits, how notices are generated, how transcripts reveal the real story behind tax disputes, and how buyers evaluate tax positions during due diligence.What You Will LearnHow to design tax-efficient and audit-resilient structures for individuals, businesses, and professionalsHow to legally reduce payroll, self-employment, and high-income tax exposureHow to integrate retirement planning as a powerful, audit-safe tax strategyHow to identify and neutralize IRS audit triggers, notices, and transcript red flagsHow to defend tax positions using documentation, substantiation, and procedural strategyHow to plan business and investment exits that maximize after-tax proceeds and minimize deal frictionHow to think like the IRS, auditors, and buyers—not just like a filerInside the BookThe book is organized into professionally structured sections covering:Core tax planning principlesEntity selection and restructuringPayroll and reasonable compensation strategyRetirement and tax-deferred wealth planningIndustry-specific tax planning (real estate, physicians, franchises, e-commerce, startups, and international trade)IRS audits, notices, and transcript forensicsAdvanced real-world case studies demonstrating how strategies succeed—or fail—in practiceThis makes the book both a reference manual and a working planning system.Why the 2026 Professional Edition MattersTax laws evolve, enforcement priorities shift, and audit techniques become more data-driven each year.
