NOLO has been the leading publisher of legal guides for lay persons for many years. Their "Tax Savvy for Small Business" is an accessible and reasonably comprehensive guide to the main tax issues facing small businesses. It doesn't assume much about the size (employees?), form (partnership? S-corporation?), or location (home-based? separate office?) of your business, and it lays out the tax-related pros and cons of different arrangements, so it's especially good for folks who are just starting out and haven't made firm decisions about how to proceed. Business owners with well-established small firms might find their needs better met by "Deduct It! Lower Your Small Business Taxes" or a NOLO guide to their specific type of businesses, like "Your Limited Liability Company: An Operating Manual (Your Limited Liability Company (W/CD))"My biggest gripe about this product concerns the accompanying web site, not the book. The legal updates are very brief and don't reference the book. That is, they say, "In 2012, X changed from Y to Z." They don't say, "On p. 49, we told you that you could do Y. That's not true anymore. Instead, you should do Z." The promised blog posts are very, very thin. As of today, there are three posts, and the latest was dated 18 months ago.
The NOLO series of books as both educational tools and reference manuals for current and topical subjects of a persona;, business and professional nature are always amazing.
