Product Description
From Amazon
Problems resulting from tax law blunders aren't new. Tax attorney Michael Savage contends, however, that small businesses that run afoul of the Internal Revenue Service and face big fines are often not guilty of malfeasance; rather, he says, they simply lack the wherewithal to handle complicated regulations as competently as their larger counterparts. In Don't Let the IRS Destroy Your Small Business: 76 Mistakes to Avoid, Savage lays out major potential stumbling blocks and in easy-to-understand language outlines ways to avoid them.
From Booklist
With new businesses multiplying like rabbits, it is never too late to learn the number one critical question to ask, namely, what are the tax ramifications? That query should accompany every company strategy, every company move, from founding to estate planning. According to Manhattan tax attorney Savage, 76 mistakes are almost indigenous to small-business ventures. Many of those errors, categorized here into a dozen chapters, are generally well-known, thanks to popular media coverage (such as the home-office deduction and establishing the difference between an employee and an independent contractor). Other IRS Code rules are more arcane, including the selection of the appropriate retirement plan and the too-much-capital-not-enough-debt trap. Considering that the infamous code is more than 3,000 pages in length, it makes excellent sense to have an expert flag Uncle Sam's hot spots--well in advance. Barbara Jacobs

Too much exaggeration,
By A Customer
This review is from: Don't Let the Irs Destroy Your Small Business: Seventy-Six Mistakes to Avoid (Paperback)
The contents in this book are not really new. The author tends to exaggerate things quite a bit. Examples in the book may be true, but grossly sensationalized and hardly applicable to any real world case.

Great book - concise and helpful,
By Geoffrey Amthor (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Don't Let the Irs Destroy Your Small Business: Seventy-Six Mistakes to Avoid (Paperback)
This book outlines 76 ways that small businesses often get in trouble with the IRS. A lot of these mistakes are very tempting to make -- in fact, one can argue that it's the tax law that's the problem in many cases, not the business practice. Nonetheless, the author makes clear the IRS position on these mistakes, and shows how damaging the mistakes can be when the IRS wins in tax court over the business owners.Every small business owner should read this book. It's remarkably easy to scan and absorb, though the topics are often quite complex at their root. This book cuts through the complexity and makes clear what the dangers are. As the author writes in the introduction, "If things go wrong, it gets expensive. For this reason, you should know *where* things go wrong. Because usually they go wrong in the same place. To see your taxes doubled because you made the same mistake that thousands of other people made before you does not make good business sense."

Insightful Info about All Areas of the Tax Code,
By A Customer
This review is from: Don't Let the Irs Destroy Your Small Business: Seventy-Six Mistakes to Avoid (Paperback)
All around great advise that covers practically every area of the tax code for a small business. My accountant can always answer a specific question but he has never put all my posible tax issues into one big picture. This book does that! It covers all the major areas of the tax code such as paying employees vs. contractors, entertainment and meal expenses, retirement plans, loans, and S-Corporations. In all these areas are descriptions of the tax law, how the IRS enforces it, and what can go wrong. Ignore the low ratings from the tax anarchist. This book is 5 stars!
