The King Of Income Tax Guides!,
By
This review is from: J.K. Lasser's Your Income Tax 2004 (Paperback)
This is the most wonderfully complete and comprehensible tax preparation guidebook on the market, and I buy the new edition every year. It never fails help me with the tortures of tax season. My favorite features are the wide margins that allow me to make notes in the book as I go. I also like the 'Caution' and 'Law Alert' notes in the margins pertinent to the matter being discussed. These clarify confusing issues (particularly about deductions) and make the tax code a mite more comprehensible. Other good features are the complete tax tables in the back of the book, a planning section, and a set of tax forms, although I personally don't use them as I traditionally use TurboTax. My one minor critique is that sometimes an entry will refer you to a website to find the ultimate answer to a question. This is very rare, but does occasionally happen, for instance in this year's edition I needed some information on per diem reimbursement rates, and they weren't in the book, which was a mere annoyance, but at least the book told me where to get the information. As tax preparation software becomes more all encompassing I use this book a little bit less every year, but at some point it always bails me out without fail. I highly recommend this book to anyone, especially people with moderately complex returns or small business owners filing Schedule C.

Complete and easy to use,
By A Customer
This review is from: J.K. Lasser's Your Income Tax 2004 (Paperback)
This book consistently provides the necessary tool for preparaing a tax return and is also a great all around tax planning book.Among the most useful features are the examples that put often complicated rules in to action and provide a template and the internal references that direct you to sections in the book that are relevant to the subject matter being discussed. It is helpful for both novice and expert.
