Amazon.com Review

If you're surprised by how much you pay in taxes every year, then maybe you should think about tax planning. Edward Lyon's 60-Minute Tax Planner focuses on making financial choices with tax consequences in mind. This highly readable guide focuses on dozens of financial concerns and their tax liability including, paying off your mortgage, choosing tax efficient investments, life insurance, claiming college tax credits, and retirement.

Product Description

How to save time and money on your taxes--a simple, do-it-yourself tax cutting guide.

Finally, a book that takes the fear--and loathing--out of tax time. Because unlike other books on the market that focus solely on tax preparation, The 60 Minute Tax Planner is the ultimate guide to tax savings.

Using a simple question-and-answer style, it helps readers navigate the mind-bogglingly complex provisions of the federal tax code to calculate exactly how much they can save on their income tax bill. What's more, this total "tax tuneup" doesn't waste time. It's designed to let readers zero in immediately on their own important target areas such as investments, employment, retirement, and filing returns. Handy worksheets and checklists make it easy to start putting more cash back into that paycheck right away.

With its take-charge prescription for lower taxes in less time, the 60 Minute Tax Planner is a lifeline for those who prepare their own returns and an excellent preparation tool for others who hire professional tax advisers.

This review is from: 60 Minute Tax Planner (Hardcover)

Unlike most attorney's, Ed Lyon gets right to what the reader wants from a tax advice book - how to save money.

Well laid out, useful, informative and even funny, I enjoyed this book as much as I found it helpful.

Doing your taxes bites. It was nice to find a book that helped me bite back.

I was very impressed with how easily understandable this book is. I could quickly find answers to my questions, and they were written in plain english without a lot of industry jargon. The tone was really refreshing for such a dreaded subject.
