I've been reading this author's columns on the web for some time. You can not read this book and look at it as a "self-help" tool. It's not that at all. You must be at least semi-business minded to execute these types of tactics and strategy or you will fall on your face. For me, a well read business person (at least I think so) this book can be summarized like this: It's a Cliffs Notes version of the Tax Code, written for the savvy tax payer. He takes the aspects of the tax code that pertain to a lot of people and breaks it down. There are times when a law degree would be helpful to read this. But, if you read it carefully, you'll do better than you had, were you not to read it.

I started getting and reading his books in 2003 (see my Listmania), and have begun visiting his MSN message boards and article indexes. I now have a brand new tax issue, and am looking to the 2006 and 2007 books for guidance in how to handle/shelter a coming $10k raise.

His books are a strategy guide for KEEPING more of what you make, rather than letting Uncle Sam get his incompetent mitts on it--everyone who gives a damn about his or her money should be reading Jeff Schnepper's books each year.
