 this book has an odor December 28, 2007

This is the craziest review I've ever written, but there's a problem with this book. It smells--literally. I'm a tax preparer and J. K. Lasser is usually my favorite go-to source when I have a question, but this year's book smells. It actually has a strong kind of rancid chemically odor. I have been buying this book for years, and there's never been any problem before, but this year is different. I don't know what to tell you. Lasser is doing its usual fine work explaining the tax law, but, if you are sensitive, the smell of this book will probably really bother you.

The annual edition of this standby once again covers nearly everything a person would need to know/find out about the tax regulations plus tax court rulings. Perhaps more than a person filing a short form needs but easier to research than going on line + the price is right.

The first time I picked up a copy of this book was at the Public Library. I soon realized that I needed my own copy because it is such an excellent resource material to keep. Each year I look forward to having my own updated copy. I recommend it to anyone.
The Best Tax Guide For Self-Preparation April 7, 2008

I normally use TurboTax to file my income tax returns (this year I used TurboTax Premier), but always buy J. K. Lasser's "Your Income Tax" as there is always some question that comes up about the returns. This year was no different.
I have modestly complex returns, and this year was more complicated than normal. I had a complex transaction in which some compensation was taken as company stock, which subsequently depreciated and was sold. TurboTax had no clue how to handle it (it actually turned out to be easier than I thought), but Lasser came through, albeit with a little digging.
In all honesty I could probably do without the book as TurboTax is getting better, and the IRS web site is becoming more user-friendly, but I find that for the very modest price, the value of having nearly every answer at my fingertips overwhelms the potential savings from doing without it.
J. K. Lasser provides excellent examples and preparation tips for even complex returns, and I truly believe that if this book doesn't contain the answers to your questions you need professional tax help. I highly recommend this book as the best of the tax preparation guides.
