Description

Are you paying more taxes than you have to? The IRS is certainly not going to tell you about a deduction you failed to take, and your accountant is not likely to take the time to ask you about every deduction you’re entitled to. As former IRS Commissioner Mark Everson admitted, “If you don’t claim it, you don’t get it. That’s money down the drain for millions of Americans.” This invaluable book, updated to reflect changes in tax law, not only lists the individual items that are deductible—from Internet domain name costs to theft losses—but also explains where to list them on your income tax form. “Tax law isn’t easy,” the author explains, “but this book is.” The twelfth edition will be completely updated to include new changes in tax law, a chapter on home- based businesses, and include a special “jump out” highlights in the A-to-Z listings for any deduction that has special rules for home-based businesses.

I have to start by stating that this is a real consumer review. I do not know the author and I purchased this book with my personal funds. (There are too many fluffed reviews out there, so I am being honest). I searched through several Amazon book reviews for a book that would break down tax deductions in a way that was comprehensive and easily understandable. I was going to go with another author but discovered that he was trying to upsell his personal services throughout the book. The reviews that I found for this book seemed to be overall better, so I went ahead and purchased. The first few pages of the book gives you an overview of what is to be expected in the book. The author does a good job of getting to the point and making it somewhat entertaining in the process. The rest of the book is broken down by easy keywords so that you can easily determine which deduction category that item falls into. I went back online to cross reference informatiom, and so far, everything matches up. I anticipate purchasing updated versions of this book each year (when things changes). ... show more

    • Becoming ever more an invaluable resource...
I stumbled upon this book soon after I started my consulting business and I'm glad that I did. Had I not read this book, I would have lost thousands of dollars that are otherwise completely legal to claim - the IRS merely doesn't go shouting the deductions you might be entitled to; you have to research them. This book has helped me as an LLC, but it takes into account the major types of business entities and differentiates which can deduct what (Sole Proprietorship, LLC/LLP, C Corporation, & S Corporation). If all of this sounds daunting to someone considering entering into business for themselves, this book gives sound advice as to how to protect yourself if an audit does come your way - the book simply does not advocate anything illegal; the tax deductions/credits are there for a reason & you should use them to their fullest extent. Why I think this book will become ever more important (?). I think it will because this is the new economy that Americans are forced to operate within. If they cannot find full time employment, but can find a reasonable part-time position (or two), they can also mobilize their skill set as a business and offset their tax burden significantly. The IRS only requires that one show intent to make profit for a business to be valid and for appropriate deductions to count. If the American people can sever their liability into a company that operates in the red and have the option for pass through taxation (taxed only once; not two entities) on their income tax, then they can substantially reduce their tax obligations through their small business. This could turn a part-time salary of say $20k net into something more akin to $24-26K net, depending on the deductions one takes. At minimum, the IRS expects start-ups to operate in the red for the first 3-5 years; this is why the LLC (among other reasons) has become so popular in the past 5-10 years. Even the middle-class that retains respectably high wages can reduce their tax burden, depending on what they are willing to capitalize their LLC with. A new car can be purchased by an LLC and amortized over a period of years; a home office space can be deducted from one's mortgage based on the relative amount of square footage it takes up within one's home; even books and magazines can be deducted in some instances. There is just so much money the government allows as deductions that can and will (as people learn) be used to reduce peoples' taxable incomes. This book explains a lot of those deductions in thorough detail and can help tremendously, particularly for the underemployed who have marketable skills that they can generate at least some profit from (and everybody has something they can do that another cannot). ... show more

    • Simple, Easy to Follow...
Although we knew many of the things in this book already, it laid everything out in a very clear manner and is a great book for anyone just starting out to take advantage of how the system works. The author did have some of the latest changes, which was very helpful to know.

    • I wish I'd had this years ago!
Format: Paperback
My husband and I are launching an online business and - though I've been self-employed my entire life - we weren't sure how to deal with first-year expenses on our taxes. This year, our profit margin will be small. This book not only put my mind at ease, it also highlighted some business expenses I didn't realize I could deduct. And everything was explained with a mix of authority and humor that actually makes this book a page-turner. The advice is excellent, and goes into depth to address quirks in the tax code as well as gray areas in categories of deductions. If you have a home-based business, are launching an online shop or video channel, whether it's product- or service-related, this book is a must-own. I'm trying not to think about how much money we could have saved in taxes, if we'd read this book sooner. This book is worth every cent. Get it now and read it right away. ... show more
