             I read a lot about the taxing world. Often I am searchingto find books to recommend to my clients to give them a better understanding how a tax return works and what is needed to make it work best and what they can do to minimize their liability. The Truth About Paying Fewer Taxes is by far the best book I have ever come across to accomplish just that.

 

The Truth About Paying Fewer Taxes is a book with “52 Truths” about taxes. It plainly answers questions like ”do you have to file?”, to “when?”, to figuring out just what is taxable all the way through to retirement. Also covering Compliance, Audits, and Special Tax Situations The Truth About Paying Fewer Taxes will give you a better understanding of taxes, thus giving you what you need to cut your taxes.

 

            The Truth About Paying Fewer Taxes, is a book written by Kay Bell. Kay is a fellow tax blogger (Don’t Mess With Taxes, Taxes: Eye on the IRS), She helped create Bankrate.com’s tax channel and continues to be a major contributor to Bankrate’s Tax Guide. I have had occasion to talk with Kay on the phone, and I communicate regularly with her via Twitter.

 

Kay’s writing is beautiful and gentile, like reading a great novel.

 

You can see a full list of the 52 truths just by looking at Barnes and Nobel’s Feature tab for The Truth About Paying Fewer Taxes Each one of the truths is explained in detail and in plain language, so you can save money and understand why you’re saving money.

 

I have been recommending this book to every one of my clients, and will continue to do so from now on.
