Informative! A taxpayer's must-have,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: J.K. Lasser's Your Income Tax 2009: For Preparing Your 2008 Tax Return (Paperback)
As an Accountant (though not a Tax Accountant) I have always preferred to do my own taxes - but I always felt as though I was missing some "hidden secrets" when it came to optimizing your deductions and potential refund. I had no idea just how much I was missing until I purchased J.K. Lasser's book! It is so well-written and replete with useful information that for the first time, I can hardly wait to do my taxes this year.
I recommend this book to anyone, whether you do your own taxes or have someone do them for you, simply to ensure that you are getting as much of your taxes back as you are entitled to. After all, it's your money, isn't it?
