Being that it’s tax season and I’m assuming that many, like myself, have not yet finished this yearly nightmare. So, I decided to find some help for my tax system ignorant self. This book goes through every conceivable tax break that you could receive. The layout and explanation of each deduction and break is very “non-accountant” and each one has the following short sections.
- Benefit
- Conditions
- Planning Tip
- Pitfall
- Where to Claim the Benefit/deduction
And sometimes an example is included on the more abstract ideas. Overall it seems very useful and hopefully will make my return a bit more than it has in years past.
See the review snippets for some articles on tax breaks
Bankrate.com has a bunch of articles on various tax subjects. Some are good, others so-so.
The IRS’s Web site actually has a pretty useful FAQ section.
An good list of tax books by an Amazon reader.
This is from the same series, but is specifically for homeowners.
