What our customer's say!

"as a beginer, it was a smooth informative read", i just started (well just INCORPORATED) my catering business. i found this book to be written in an accessible and unintimidating style. Fishman goes to great lengths to give examples, cite external sources for additional information, and generally uncomplicates the IRS jargon. now only if i had read this 6 months ago, i would really be ahead of the game!

"Highly readable and informative", This book is a must small business owners because it can improve their bottom line. Although it provides fairly good overview of tax deudctions, it should not be used as a comprehensive reference for tax professionals.

The book is a relatively light read in a highly readable format. Each tax deduction has a good overview and a case example to boot. It isn't, however, an answer to complex tax questions which the book willingly acknowledges should be taken to a tax professional. For most business owners, this book should be sufficient for most of the tax deduction questions they may have. This book certainly answered all of mine.

The book provides valuable information on the probability of an IRS audit (don't form sole proprietorship if you want to avoid an audit) and how one can minimize one's chances of an audit.



"So simple to understand, excellent examples", I read this book after forming a C-Corp in California (using the Nolo guide). Although I am familiar with many biz deductions, this book walks you through many examples of deductions you can take if you plan ahead. I really like the "Day in the Life of..." examples of how you can maximize legal deductions pertaining to mileage. There's an excellent section on home office deductions. My husband, a self-admitted dummy when it comes to expense reports, taxes, etc., picked up the book after I was done, and even he understands the concepts. Already he has found deductions for his sole proprietorship and non-reimbursed employee biz expenses. Great value and so easy to understand. Highly recommend.

"Great book!", Great book. Just one comment. A lot of the text in this book is identical to the text in Tax Deductions for Professionals. You don't need both books; choose one.

"Excellent Information", This book has the information I have been looking for. It is the most detailed (and clearly written) of any books that I've purchased to help me know what is allowable (and not) as deductions for my small business. Helps in planning as well.
SUPERB!

Read this reviews before You buy...

"J Vasquez", This book is amazing. It's hard to set it down. Well organized with clear explanations and examples. A must for new business owners. It will help you steer away from IRS audits. The capital expense section will show you how to deduct the cost of this book.

"Explaining the Rules, Both Written and Understood", The income tax laws of the United States clearly allow you do deduct business expenses. But from this basic rule has come an incredibly complex set of subsidiary rules that further define what are legitimate deductions and what are not allowed.

The strength of this book is that it explains these rather complex (arcane even) IRS rules in plain common sense language that the average businessman can follow. And further it gives hints and tips that are based on what is known about how the IRS really operates - these are the real rules instead of the written rules. For instance -- Filing by mail reduces your chance of being audited. Why, because the IRS doesn't transcribe all of the information on the printed return to electronic form where it can be analyzed by computer. If you file electronically, everything you enter is available for the computer to analyze.

You'll never know if information like this kept you from being audited, but it's certainly information that you'd want to know. In this book there is a wealth of such information that can't help but be of use as you prepare your tax forms.

"Excellent Tips", At first glance, I thought, "Okay. It's a textbook." Yet, as I read this book it became a walk through finding what I wanted - excellent tips on small business deductions.

Mr. Fishman has managed to convert tax law and accounting into an easy to follow source for anyone who has or plans to have a small business.

And there were many sections that surprized me.

One example was "The basic rule is that, no matter what month and day of the year you buy an asset, you treat it as being placed in service on July 1 -the midpoint of the year. This means that you get one-half year of depreciation for the first year that you own an asset."

Another great part in this book is that he identifies excellent details about the difference between deductions for the homebased small business deductions that are local travel (within your county), versus travel that is outside of your area.
