Tax Book Review 2009

JK Lasser's Income Tax Books are very good. Very comprehensive. This is a great book for eggheads like me, and people who like researching and investigating their subject. Read this book... you'll know something! It will also improve reading skills. Anyone can get whatever information they are looking for regarding personal and business tax returns. However, I don't recommend this to the casual user. This is a book for the professionals because it is so comprehensive. It may overwhelm the casual reader. However if you are anything like I've described above---researching, investigative mind with a need to know---then this is the book for you! I've bought these books yearly for my personal library as a tax professional and I use them in my business.

I get it every year

I run an income tax preparation business and have found the Lasser's Your Income Tax to be the most comprehensive and easiest to read. i purchase this item every year to make things simpler for me

GREAT AS EXPECTED

I have used "Your Income Tax" for many years. It is the most helpful resource I can find to aid in the process of completing income tax returns for myself and others.

BEST THERE IS FOR THE MONEY!

I've purchased YOUR INCOME TAX every year for 30+ years. It's big book, that's extremely well indexed, that includes information about recent court rulings - - not just the one sided view that IRS publications provide. For the money - Your Income Tax is the Tax Book available anywhere!

Informative! A taxpayer's must-have

As an Accountant (though not a Tax Accountant) I have always preferred to do my own taxes - but I always felt as though I was missing some "hidden secrets" when it came to optimizing your deductions and potential refund. I had no idea just how much I was missing until I purchased J.K. Lasser's book! It is so well-written and replete with useful information that for the first time, I can hardly wait to do my taxes this year. I recommend this book to anyone, whether you do your own taxes or have someone do them for you, simply to ensure that you are getting as much of your taxes back as you are entitled to. After all, it's your money, isn't it?
