What Your Accountant Will Never Tell You

GOT ALL YOUR "TAX DEDUCTS" IN A ROW? If you need DETAILED AND CLEAR INFORMATION on how to legally shelter thousands of dollars of business income from self-employment and federal taxes this year—and EVERY year in the future— . . . here's the eBook that explains dry IRS instructions in a down-to-earth and often amusing way, providing information your accountant or tax preparer will never volunteer (and in some cases may not even know). In fact, this book is likely to answer questions you didn't even know you had. For U.S. Taxpayers only. Sample book and see reviews on Amazon

BARBARA'S HOME-BUSINESS FINANCIAL RULE:

It's not how much you can MAKE in a business of your own . . . but how much you can legally KEEP out of the hands of the IRS!

". . .  gives you the answers in language you can understand. I doubt if most accountants will clue you in to all the deductions mentioned in Barbara's book." ~ James Dillehay, co-author of Guerrilla Multilevel Marketing. ". . . full of tips and ideas . . .fast and easy reading. Even though we subscribe to tax newsletters, and make regular use of J. K. Lasser's Your Income Tax, I was still surprised by some of the opportunities documented in this book." ~ Betty Chypre, CraftShowYellowPages.com

Once the April 15 return is filed, many Schedule C filers stop thinking about taxes for several months, perhaps waiting until November or the last week of December before frantically trying to think of things they can do, or payments they can make or delay to maximize tax savings for the current tax year.

But the savvy tax tips and strategies in this eBook aren't just going to save you money on this year's taxes. Once you understand the money-saving CONCEPTS in this eBook, you will be able to cut your self-employment taxes for years to come. In fact, I have used these same strategies in my own home business to legally shelter thousands of dollars of business profits from self-employment taxes while also cutting federal and state taxes as well.

The problem for most home business owners is that their accountants or tax advisers rarely (if ever) remind them about deductions they might be overlooking, or money-saving tax strategies they might implement. Always overworked at tax time, they just work with the figures they are given.

That's why it's so important to make sure you haven't overlooked any of the MANY LEGAL DEDUCTIONS you can take on your annual Schedule C tax form . . .

AND . . . that you understand how different tax strategies can lower your overall taxes even more, year after year.

EQUALLY IMPORTANT: How to avoid IRS pitfalls that could cost you a bundle if you're ever audited.

NOTE that the 2013 edition of this eBook will be available on June 15.
