Customer Reviews

Better than expected. Excellent tax source.

Contains a lot of useful information with sufficient detail. I've been using Master Tax Guides by CCH, but I found some items (e.g. Related Parties Passive Real Estate Loss treatment) in Lasser's that the CCH book didn't cover sufficiently. Excellent resource and well written.

The Best Tax Guide For Self-Preparation

I normally use TurboTax to file my income tax returns (this year I used TurboTax Premier), but always buy J. K. Lasser's "Your Income Tax" as there is always some question that comes up about the returns. This year was no different. I have modestly complex returns, and this year was more complicated than normal. I had a complex transaction in which some compensation was taken as company stock, which subsequently depreciated and was sold. TurboTax had no clue how to handle it (it actually turned out to be easier than I thought), but Lasser came through, albeit with a little digging. In all honesty I could probably do without the book as TurboTax is getting better, and the IRS web site is becoming more user-friendly, but I find that for the very modest price, the value of having nearly every answer at my fingertips overwhelms the potential savings from doing without it. J. K. Lasser provides excellent examples and preparation tips for even complex returns, and I truly believe that if this book doesn't contain the answers to your questions you need professional tax help. I highly recommend this book as the best of the tax preparation guides.

This one is the best.

There is nothing to be said about this tax book except it is the very best there is. When you do your taxes, and that is something we all must do even if we hire it out, this book is without equal. Even if you use tax software, this reference will be used often. If you are only going to buy one tax book, buy this one.

JK Lasser's Your Income Tax 2008

Excellent product. Easy to reseach issues with planning tips and real world practical examples to increses reader comprehension. Great source book for individual tax preparers as well as professionals who assist other taxpayers. Return om my investment (purchase price) is at least $100 saved in tax payments for each dollar spent on the book. Be sure you understand the terminology of the title, 2007 tax year is the 2008 edition. Don't buy 2007 edition since you normally filed your 2006 taxes by 4/15/2007.

Excellent Form 1040 Resource Guide

The first time I picked up a copy of this book was at the Public Library. I soon realized that I needed my own copy because it is such an excellent resource material to keep. Each year I look forward to having my own updated copy. I recommend it to anyone.
