Earle,
Income averaging allows you to reduce your tax liability by averaging the income earned in a banner year with other years when you didn't do so well. The practice was established with the Revenue Act of 1964, but you can only do that now if you make your living as a farmer or a commercial fisherman . Income averaging for all others was repealed by the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
