Totally updated for 2002, this is a tax guide that focuses on how to pay less taxes, rather than focusing on how to fill out the forms and figure out what you owe. Unlike most of the brand-name tax guides, its primary perspective is tax saving not tax preparation. Organized all around the IRS sanctioned deductions, shelters, credits, and exemptions, this book is easy to read, easy to apply, and it zeroes in on what people really care about - paying less to the IRS! Includes comprehensive coverage of more deductions than any tax book, including those related to: child care and elderly care, moving expenses, job hunting expenses, mortgages and points, investment expenses, and 401(k)s. The book is organized into six sections, including: exclusions, credits, general deductions, "below the line" deductions, traditional tax shelters, and super tax shelters.

Outdated,

This review is from: How To Pay Zero Taxes, 2002 Edition (Paperback)
I was very disappointed to find that even though "2002" was part of the title, nothing in this book was current. I strongly recommend Taxes for Dummies. Don't waste your money on this one.

Lack of depth,
By Dan Murphy (Springdale, AR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How To Pay Zero Taxes, 2002 Edition (Paperback)
I purchased and read this book. I felt it was too full of generalizations as I was expecting more specific examples. So I next visited the IRS website to read the real stuff. Now the real pain started - I found could read most of the book(excluding the "Dick & Jane" examples) on the IRS website FOR FREE!

Not for the average person,
By RVtogo "rvnana" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How To Pay Zero Taxes, 2002 Edition (Paperback)
This book does not provide what the title indicates. Was very disappointed as I had expected this book would divulge some little known info for tax breaks. Unless you own a business or have tons and tons of money invested I would pass this by.
