There has been a lot of talk recently about income taxes.  This is probably because as the end of the year ends, there are only a few more weeks to take advantage of ways to lower the amount of taxes you will owe for 2013.  For example, if you are receiving a year-end bonus, defer the bonus to January so that you will not be taxed on it for 2013.  If you are self-employed or an independent contractor, you may want to mail your November and December invoices in January to avoid paying more taxes in 2013.
