Techniques to help you avoid paying taxes can include incorporating your business, registering it as a nonprofit, setting up an LLC, and operating as a sole proprietorship. You may also be eligible for tax credits or deferrals depending on your situation. It’s important to seek professional advice when trying to minimize your tax liability. An experienced accountant or tax attorney can help determine the best strategies for saving money while maintaining compliance with government regulations.

There are several techniques that can help you avoid paying taxes. One is to make sure that your books and records are in order and up-to-date. Keeping track of income and expenses accurately enables you to properly categorize tax-deductible expenses. You can also minimize taxation by structuring transactions with non-tax-deductible liabilities, such as cash payments or loans from unrelated parties, rather than capital investments or borrowing from family members or friends who will not be subject to income taxation on the proceeds. 

In addition, making the most of your available resources helps to minimize taxes as much as possible—such as utilizing existing credit card debt, home equity loan debt or other non-deductible liabilities—to fund day-to-day operations. You could even take a look at past years' returns to see if there are opportunities for refund claims.

Other than that, ensure that you file timely and update information on your returns so that the IRS does not raise any unnecessary flags on your accounts.
