Five strategies for beating the 3.8% Obamacare tax:

1. Stay below the threshold. The best way to reduce your Obamacare tax bill is to increase your business deductions and keep your investment income below the thresholds specified by law. We’ll tell you what those thresholds are and show you how to save big money when you read the full article.

3. Unlock the power of Section 1031. A Section 1031 transaction (much easier than you think) is a great way to defer taxes and help you avoid paying the Obamacare tax. You’ll learn exactly how to use this money-saving strategy when you read the full article.
4. Turn your rental properties into tax shelters. It may be a bit trickier today than in the past, but you can still use your rental properties to create tax deductions and positive cash flow. You’ll find out how when you read the full article.
5. Change your passive-loss groupings. Are you happy with your current passive-loss groupings? If you’re not, and it turns out you are subject to the 3.8% tax, you’ve got a great chance to undo/redo those groupings. We’ll explain this in detail when you read the full article.
