A must-have for anyone who doesn't still live at home.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stand Up to the IRS (Paperback)
"Stand Up To The IRS" (SUIRS) is an absolute, no-question, don't even think twice, must-have for any taxpayer's household financal tool drawer. Clearly written and presented in short, bite-sized chunks by a successful longtime tax attorney who has been through it all many times, SUIRS is an impressively inclusive text that can go a long way toward leveling the audit playing field for taxpayers -- if not outright tipping it in their favor. Loaded with sample forms, letters and where-to-find-it tables, this book earns its cover price in the Index alone. If the location of the answer to your question isn't in there, you're probably not asking it correctly. And if you ever do get audited, Chapter 16 ("The 25 Most Frequently Asked Questions") will probably do more to calm your nerves and help you rest than any sleeping pill will. Mom and dad never taught you this stuff when you were growing up, because they didn't know it. So be a good son or daughter and give them their own copy. Besides, it just might come in handy some day, as described in chapter 9 ("Family, Friends, Heirs and the IRS").

Excellent to have if you have a disagreement with the gov,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stand Up to the IRS (Paperback)
I didn't intend to stand up to the IRS but had to due to circumstances beyond my control. Daily's book gives a comprehensive look at what constrains the IRS and what sort of leeway a taxpayer. What I found to be of the most value, though, was his simple explaination of complex circumstances. Daily breaks down various tax problems and solutions and suggests ways to prevent having the IRS resort to putting a lean on your home, etc.I'd highly recommend Daily's book as it has the insider perspective that a taxpayer needs but the dose of reality to prevent a false sense of security when negotiating with the IRS. Daily provides perspective as to what will work in your favor and what you can do to prevent yourself from working against yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Invaluable Resource,
By HElston (IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stand Up to the IRS (Paperback)
I was blessed with my first IRS audit in late 2007. Before the audit, I thought some preparation might be a good idea and being familiar with NOLO publications, I went to their site and found Daily's book, Stand Up to the IRS. I purchased the book and I found it to be an invaluable resource as I prepared for the examination.
Two things are emphasized in this work: 1. Refuse to be a doormat for the examiner and 2. Perseverance eventually pays off. The book is also extremely valuable if you have not had the pleasure of an IRS examination - it gives great information in making your records examination ready. The results of my examination were better than could be expected. I wholeheartedly recommend this book. HJE
