What is Income shifting?

Income shifting is a legitimate tax planning strategy that involves transferring income from family members in higher tax brackets to those in lower tax brackets, reducing the overall family tax liability. This approach works effectively within family business structures where parents can employ their children or redistribute income through spousal partnerships. Standard methods include Hiring kids in family businesses, utilizing the Augusta rule for property rentals, and implementing Home office deductions that benefit lower-bracket family members.
