very complete with citations

The professional edition is a hardcover copy of the regular edition plus a second professional section that includes an additional 100 pages or so of citations to the code, the regs, rev ruls, letter rulings and cases that support the text in the first section; this is very well done and very useful. for instance: in the main section 19.24 discusses Deductible Investment Expenses; if you want to know more, the professional section in the back refers you to IRC 212 and Reg. 1.212-1(b) and journal article that discusses the topic generally; then there are two columns of citations dealing with very specific topics in this category; for instance, on the topic of deductions for investor's home office expenses it refers to IRC 280A and Joseph Moller, 721 F.2d 810 (fed. Cir. 1983). Then there are an additional 100 pages or so of narrative on tax authorities, praciticing before the IRS and preparing returns for estates. Overall, very useful.

A great reference but not for complete idiots

This is one the best tax guides and will assist in clarifying any tax questions you may have. You can easily navigate the book and zero in on the sections to help you figure out how much you owe and even how to reduce your total tax bill. The recommendations here have been right on target and I'm glad I bought this book. This book has helped me understand the somewhat incomprehensible tax laws. The layout of the book is nicely done with large easy to read print. The table of contents is a great starting place and while the book is not intended for the complete idiot, ANYONE with a modicum of intelligence should find the book easy to use. You will find the volume to be large and very comprehensive ( as it should be ) and a great value considering amount of information contained within those pages. I have used this book every year and as my situation has grown from simply to more complicated this book has always provided me with the necessary information. Whether you are single, married or own a business, I recommend the book. It is very fortunate that this classic series exists -- I guess thats why its the #1 guide to understanding taxes.

Paperback Edition 2000 Jk Lasser

It's the best value for the money. It's very concise and you can find your topic quickly. I will continue to use it in the future as I have in the past 12 years.

Best Income Tax Book on the Market.

Year after year, I've used J.K. Lasser's books to navigate through the tax season. Examples given are helpful and explanations are always clear and easy to understand. I've used other books before, but this is the best.

Very through...searched and this is the best.

I had a alot of complicated tax issues around the death of my father. It gave clear explanations of both complicated and easy topics. I looked at several books and this was the most through yet still easy to understand.
