In her book, Eva introduced me to yet more ways taxpayers can qualify for deductions. The partial garage deduction is an example. That put me in a favorable mood. I enjoyed this book despite the fact that it's about TAXES. Her approach is to inject street smarts regarding income taxes.There's nothing like getting tax advice from a veteran of marathon tax seasons, when tax research is always an urgency motivated by real people's problems. This book is no regurgitation of the tax code. I easily recommend it over J.K. Lasser's, for example. With access to the Internet, you can get all the IRS Forms you need along with instructions for filling them out. This book gives the real world advice. This is not to say the book is the only printed word you'll need - far from it. It's natural to have areas that require a little tax research, which can generally be done on the Internet.On page 144, Eva (TaxMama) gave an example where net operating losses (NOLs) can be extra helpful. She had prepared a return where the taxpayer had office-in-home carryforwards that reduced the self-employment tax burden. This is one of the few deductions that reduce the self-employment tax.One thing TaxMama convinced me to do is abandon in most cases trying to deduct home Internet use. Record keeping for this deduction tends to defeat the benefit.Whereas I once was a tax preparer, I recognize value from savvy people that do real tax work full-time like TaxMama.com Eva Rosenberg. In fact, I've worked with many tax attorneys, even excellent ones. Further, I'm a CPA and perform tax research from time to time. I defer to those with tax combat experience and don't care a whit about anything else because the subject is dissimilar to other things.
