Overview

The Smart Family Tax Guide: 101 Ways to Keep More of What You Earn opens the door to the real kitchen-table moments that shape a family's financial story-juggling budgets, debating over repairing an car or buying a new one, giggling over ChatGPT searches like ""Is this deductible?"" and plotting the next big dream. Inside, veteran CPA Mike Nie-father of four and financial educator with 25+ years of experience-shares practical tax wisdom, creative strategies, and unforgettable stories to help you thrive at every stage of family life. You'll discover why your teen's Roth IRA could outpace their college fund, how to turn that old minivan into a real tax asset, and the critical moments when artificial intelligence should take a back seat to common sense.

This guide isn't dry tax code; it's a lively, story-driven playbook. You'll hear real examples-like how Mike bought a campus rental to turn dorm fees into deductions-and get practical tips, from teaching your kids about taxes before their first paycheck to navigating FAFSA, 529 plans, and more with confidence. Learn how to rent to your kids (without breaking any rules), turn summer jobs into early investments, and avoid the financial pitfalls that catch so many off guard. Whether your family is saving for college, tackling FAFSA for the first (or fifth) time, or just trying to make sense of April 15, this book is your go-to resource for tax-saving ideas and clear, family-friendly advice. Mike Nie's guidance is both technical and deeply human, blending Biblical stewardship with modern financial empowerment. If you've ever wished for a road map to build wealth, stress less, and outsmart the IRS-without sacrificing your family's sanity or those sushi nights-this book was written for you.
