This book is surprisingly easy to read and understand. This book is for someone who does not know anything about taxes. It is an excellent introductory book. If you've been in business a while you should know everything that is in here - if not, pick this book up!

This book does introduce many of the topics that you need to know if you have just started a small business, however there is very little depth. In the year and a half that I have been operating as an independent contractor / sole proprietor, I have already learned everything in this book on my own. It certainly would have helped when I first started, but now that I have made it through my own taxes twice, this book had very little to offer.


3 out of 5 stars Simple and readable, but a bit too shallow   March 12, 2008

This self-published book is literally 100 pages from cover to cover; as such (the author's favorite phrase which he uses ad nauseam), the real stuff only goes from about page 12 to page 90. Plus there's a ton of white space on each page.

Why do I mention this? Because even though the book makes some tax topics easy to understand -- for instance, I liked its short chapter on retirement plans -- it's a rather poor value for over twelve bucks. The author could have said so many more things, without complicating anything. For instance, the said chapter on retirement plans sorely lacks information -- important information -- on when each plan must be filed with the IRS. Also, the few chapters on business deductions (a topic most readers bought the book for) are very light and very shallow.

If you're absolutely clueless about sole-proprietorship tax planning and don't want to hire an accountant, this book can serve as a start, a primer of sort, but you'll need another more in-depth book like those put out by JK Lasser or Nolo. If you already know something about business taxes, this book will be too elementary for you.

Quick and easy read. No fluff just straight to the point and gives you more helpful information that you might imagine. If you are looking to get the bottom line information you need to start your business right then this book is a must have. Don't lose your business to a mistake you could have avoided by owning this book.

It is very simple and easy to read. Don't expect it to go into a lot of detail on one particular item. It basically reiterated what I already knew and brought up more questions than answers for me. If you're looking for an introductory tool...almost a "Dummies" version, then look no further!
