5.0 out of 5 stars A must read before you file., December 7, 2001

This review is from: J.K. Lasser's New Tax Law Simplified (Paperback)

This book is great. Before I filed my taxes, I wanted to make sure that I understood all the changes of the new tax law. Not only did this book help me understand the changes in clear, easy to understand language, but, it also gave me valuable money saving tax tips. I was shocked by how many new ways there are for me to save money. It opened my eyes to how I can plan for my daughter's college in ways that ensure I receive the maximum tax saving benefits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly Useful!, December 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: J.K. Lasser's New Tax Law Simplified (Paperback)

I found this little book an incredible resource. I always get the Lasser tax guide when I file, but with all the changes in the tax laws I also wanted a simple, short, easy to understand explanation of everything and this is it--It tells you the new law, explains it in language you can understand, then gives examples of how it is applied, with tips on using it. I am not an accountant, and have always dreaded the thought of wading through tax books to find extra deductions but this was easy to do, and maybe because it was written by the same people, but I found this and the Lasser Your Income Tax complemented each other well--it made for easy reference back and forth.
