Self-employed Business Owner

Customer Rating:

This is a very good guide to helping a small business owner realize the American dream (working for yourself, not collecting welfare). The author states several times throughout the book when the advise of an attorney or CPA is recommended. The language is easy to read and understand and not filled with his industry jargon. He even states the obvious in some instances (a speeding ticket in the company vehicle is not a tax write-off, for example). I was able to fill out the necessary forms to start my business in a short amount of time and can refer to the book for a review of the tax forms required for my business. I highly recommend this book.

GOOD ADVICE	Customer Rating:
I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FULLY UTILIZE ALL OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK, ONLY BECAUSE IT ALL DOESN'T APPLY TO ME, BUT THE INFORMATION THAT DOES APPLY TO ME HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL. THIS IS A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR ALL.

422 Tax deductions	Customer Rating:
This is a book for rookies. If you are starting out in business this may have some value. It really is nothing more than a list with little paragraph information reference the list. Areas where further information would be of value are concise and a reference made to an IRS document. It could be condensed to about 5 pages in length.

Great for Basics	Customer Rating:
I've done small business consulting and this is one of the few books I keep in my library. For the small business owner or individual this book hits the basics and will keep you categorizing correctly so that your tax person has correct information. It is a GREAT place to start.

This Book Didn't Hold My Attention	Customer Rating:
This book didn't hold my attention very long. I figured instead of learning all this stuff I'd keep good records and take the information to an accountant.
