In this new and expanded guide, two respected authors untangle the thicket of tax regulations and conflicting concepts, picking up where last year's book left off and adding an array of new strategies. As always, the Fool is thorough but makes a complex subject easy to grasp.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Last year it contained 94 pages. This year it's 368. Last year it focused on investment tax matters. This year it covers not only those, but also stuff that's not on Schedule D, such as adoption taxpayer identification numbers and tips on mortgage interest credit. And this year it adds an index and an appendix with a tax calendar and resource section. The Motley Fool Investment Tax Guide 2000 is bigger and better, yet still retains that "please don't take me too seriously" tone that has become the hallmark of the Fool. Written by Selena Maranjian and Roy Lewis, the 2000 edition covers everything from restrictions on wash sales and how to account for taxes on DRIPs to taking medical and home-office deductions. Clearly the Fool is trying to broaden its appeal beyond stock picking, and this edition is one step in that direction. If you manage your own investments and are looking for a readable tax guide that can also help you maximize that education deduction for junior or offer advice on converting your regular IRA to a Roth IRA, then you'll find this a worthwhile addition to your investment library. --Harry C. Edwards

Easy, Comprehensive Overview of Taxes,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Motley Fool's Investment Tax Guide 2000: Smart Tax Strategies for Investors (Paperback)
This book is worth reading cover-to-cover to learn what you need to know before filing your taxes, and it's also a handy reference that can be used to answer specific questions (I've used it for both). The examples are humorous and clear, and the book does a good job of anticipating what questions will come to mind as you prepare for your tax filing. If your tax situation is getting complicated because of your investments, this book should really help.
