Rezensionen

Weltman, an attorney and small-business tax expert, aims with these
guides to help both individual taxpayers and businesspersons
understand, organize, and plan for tax season. Individuals will
find straightforward help in 1001 Deductions & Tax
Breaks, whose chapters cover deductions related to medical
expenses, travel, real estate, investments, loans, automobiles, and
more. Weltman explains each potential benefit in terms of the
conditions for qualification, the planning required, possible
pitfalls, and where to claim the benefit. New tax-law alerts appear
throughout the text.

In Small Business Taxes, Part 1 covers business forms and
the effect a business's choice of form has on tax obligations as
well as instructs on record-keeping requirements to ensure
eligibility for deductions and credits. Part 2 discusses the
reporting of business income; Part 3 is a primer on deductions; and
Part 4 addresses strategic planning (e.g., how to avoid common
mistakes when claiming deductions).

Each book has been revised to reflect changes in the tax law, and
there is also an online updating service through the J.K. Lasser
web site (www.jklasser.com). Both editions' use of everyday
examples, illustrative charts, and checklists helps make complex
rules accessible. Recommended for public libraries. (Library
