J.K. Lasser's Taxes Made Easy for Your Home-Based Business

By Laura White - January 8, 2001

This tax book is the only book available to assist in tax preparation for a home based buisness - there is no other tax book like this. Every chapter contains information and guidance that is easy to understand, unlike other tax books and IRS publications. The author provides you with step by step instructions on how to fill out Form 8829, Expenses for Business Use of Your Home, which gives clear examples, and does and don'ts. The author also includes a comprehensive example that contains several schedules including the Self-Employment Tax, Schedule SE. There are tax strategies, planning tips, and business deductions throughout the book that I would have missed if I had not read this book. Its unbelievable how much straight forward information has been provided. Again, there is no other book like this that targets the Home Based Business.

Gives specific instruction in accordance with the IRC code, to follow and to determine what can be done to legally lower your tax liability.

While Daily's book gives you general examples of accounting procedures and legalities, Kamoroff book gets into the nuts and bolts of accounting procedures, along with a step by step guide to implement those procedures. These 3 books should be on every... read more
