Overview

What makes this book different? Two Things: It is organized by life event instead of tax topics and it is written in English. 88 Chapters and 3 appendixes the majority of which are either absolutely necessary tax knowledge, timely updated information for a specific year or tax law, or a specific life event such as having kids or retiring for which it would be good to know how it affects your taxes, preferably BEFORE you file or make a mistake. Each chapter is organized in the best way possible to make it easy to understand, and, most importantly, easy to apply to your personal situation. Most chapters have a section on what you NEED to know, a section with nitty-gritty details, a section of the author's personal best advice and often some specifics for the military. If this system doesn't work for a chapter, a different system is used. Here is a simplified list of chapters: Read Me First Do I Have to File a Tax Return? How Should I Be Preparing my Taxes? How Much Should Tax Preparation Cost? 10 Simple Pieces of Tax Advice Common Tax Myths The IRS is Having Problems How Fast Can I Get my Refund? Where's my Refund?
