Customer Reviews

Great Reading when starting your own business

This book is great reading when starting your own business, whatever the type of business. You will still need a tax accountant (and that is also what the author recommends) but you will have a good understanding on what records to keep and what you can write off. This makes the everday management clearer and the conversations with the tax accountant a lot easier. The book is written in fun, plain English. Some people may find the style too trivial but I actually enjoyed it because the book was easy to read that way.

Great Book - Easy Read

June does a wonderful job with communicating the concepts about the IRS tax code. This is wonderful book for the beginner as well as the seasoned entrepreneur. She explains all tax deductions in a simple way. Her Most Simple System works!!! This book does not take the place of accountant and she says that from the beginning; However her book makes you an informed client and one that will not be missing deductions.

Taxes Ain't Astrophysics; Both CAN be Readily Explained!

This book contains a plethora of legitimate, audit-proof suggestions, many of which are not on the radar of most CPAs, since they are accustomed to dealing with the W2 world. The author has a very clear - without being condescending - way of delivering the advice. She's kind of the Carl Sagan of tax experts,using humor and common sense to give the reader a series of real-life suggestions to make major changes in both your record-keeping methods and your business attitude as an indie. This is the very first book of its kind that I have encountered which is devoted solely to indies and our tax issues, and which honestly succeeds in addressing them in a straightforward, non-technical manner. Suggest it to every independent businessperson you know...and give it to the ones you really love.

A great book for a new Sole Proprietor!

This book is a fun and great read! I met June Walker via Google. I had a tax question about reimbursements from a client and went searching online. I found a great article on June Walker's website explaining the solution to the exact tax sitiuation I was in! I also found out that she had a book coming out soon, and after reading the tax explanation for my problem on her website, I knew I had to have her book. After I recieved it, I couldn't put it down. All the tax myths I had heard about being an individual in business were suddenly cleared up by June Walker using lots of easy to understand, real life examples. June Walker obviously has lots of experience with a diverse group of clients and is able to sum up the tax problem they were having and the solution she provided for them quickly and clearly. If you are an individual and are ready to start your own business but fear the IRS and tax burden, get this book. It will rid you of the anxiety of keeping tax records for your own business and get you on the right track for providing clear simple tax records for your new business!
