The problem there is that you're never quite sure if you've found everything you should be looking for. Fishman condenses those "phone book" guides into something around 450 pages that covers the most important aspects of the tax code that affect the home/small business owner. Instead of listing endless regulations and nuances, he gives you the information in a conversation style that doesn't sacrifice detail for readability. That's good, as you don't want to end up in front of a tax auditor ill-prepared for the questions they may ask. In addition to the coverage of the laws and guidelines, he also includes a number of realistic examples so you can see how that aspect of tax law would apply to someone who might be in your same situation. The combination of information and application make this a valuable guide that can easily save you the purchase cost of the book come April 15th. I personally found the information reassuring, as I was able to confirm that the taxes I've done in the past have been accurate. If I had never had to do a Schedule C before, I'd consider this a must-read. Definitely worth buying…Summary: a complete productRating: 5A very detailed and easy to read complete book.
