You’ve heard the stories: jets written off, million‑dollar refunds, zero taxes on millions in income. But are those strategies fundamental? And more importantly, do they apply to you?

In this video, Mark Perlberg (CPA + Tax Strategist) breaks down the truth about these “too good to be true” tax moves. He pulls back the curtain on deduction limitations, capital loss traps, passive vs. active income strategies, and how the wealthy legally reduce their tax bills, sometimes to zero.

You’ll learn:
• Why many tax hacks don’t apply to W‑2 earners
• The $630,000 business loss cap (and how to use it)
• How high earners stack real estate + charitable + credit strategies
• What most tax pros miss about timing, phaseouts, and AGI targeting
• Workarounds for SALT deductions, basis limitations, and more
