Excellent, Especially the Advice on Dealing with the IRS

Easy-to-read, well organized, and thoroughly helpful. I recommend "Taxes 2005 for Dummies" to people who want to prepare their own taxes, either by hand or by computer. Excellent advice and strategies for dealing with the IRS. Table of contents lists each line of the tax form, making information easy to find. Provides instructions for the 1040EZ, 1040A and 1040. (Most books just cover the 1040.) Icons indicate tax-saving...

Anybody who itemizes deductions, or who might do so in the future, will find _Taxes for Dummies_ extremely helpful. Plus, throughout the book, there are...

Overall, any individual or small business that needs a few clues on how to do your...

Simply, required reading for EVERBODY.

This book should be required reading for everbody--starting at the High School Level and adding it to the "reading list." This book helped me save about $20,000 over three years on my taxes. By helping you to understand the tax "system" you'll better appreciate why we pay taxes, how to pay them correctly, how to pay ONLY what you owe, and how to change your spending and savings habits to focus on the tax ramifications...
