Tax strategies

[windsormd1]

Hi All, 

    Asking for a friend, filing taxes for last year, was wondering if any of you guys have any creative ideas for tax reduction/strategies.  For a net income of 250k, I'm looking at a tax bill just a hair short of 100k; YIKES!!!!  Are there any special tax deductions, loopholes that are advantageous to docs.  I'm aware of incorporating.  How much money do average docs put into their corporations?  Even making 250k net, that only leaves about 150k, roughly $12,500 monthly which isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things.
