4.0 out of 5 stars Useless for most, great for small business, April 6, 2008

By 

Amazon customer (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lower Your Taxes - Big Time! 2007-2008 Edition (Paperback)

This book should really be titled "How Small Businesses can Minimize their Taxes." That is the entire focus of the book. (Note that this includes consultants and other types of small businesses.) It covers a lot of topics in an organized manner, giving useable advice and not just concepts.

If you do not have a small business, will this book convince you to do so? Probably not. For example, you can deduct your entertainment expenses - as long as you invite complete strangers over to your house.

If you own or are seriously considering starting your own business, this book is worth getting. If not, don't bother.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of Lower Your Taxes - Big Time!, March 9, 2007

This review is from: Lower Your Taxes - Big Time! 2007-2008 Edition (Paperback)

I have a business I work from home in network marketing and this book was great for tips on some business expenses that I can use that I currently wasn't. He was very good at detailing all the documentation and record-keeping that you need to back up your expenses to make sure that if you have an audit your expenses will be audit-proof. In most cases, it was pretty easy to understand for the average person to implement some of the strategies right away. I would definitely recommend for anyone that has their own business, especially a work from home type business. I have recommended it to every one of my business partners!

This book will save you thousands of dollars in taxes if you apply the principles. The best part about this book is that everything in here is absolutely legal per the IRS tax code. Grey areas are not included in this book. The author tells you how to bulletproof your records so if you are audited, it won't be a problem. This, along with Sandy Botkin's audio seminars, is one of the best investments I have made when it comes to keeping more of my money.
