I bought this book, along with "JK Lasser's 1001 Deductions & Tax Breaks 2007", to get an idea of what to look for in the future for tax reductions.

This book gives a good general overview of most tax deductions and important information regarding taxes. I am not familiar with tax terms and wording. I am more of a math person who is good at doing the calculations required. This book made sense of most of those vague and mysterious terms in regards to taxes that I had no clue what they meant.

I rated this book a 4 based on my purchase of the other book I previously listed. The Dummies book here took longer to explain a tax item. The "1001" book broke it down to the quickest, simplest terms to understand.It may be a "guy" thing, but I liked the meat and bones approach on the "1001" as compared to the fluffed up Dummies explanations.

If I didn't also get the "1001" book, this would have got a 5 Stars.

The book covered the basics. Definitely geared to the basics taxpayer
without to intricate of a return. Taxpayers has to have some idea
of what they need to know in order to utilize this book.
