About this product: Imagine if Brad Meltzer or John Grisham's first book had been a memoir about working for the Internal Revenue Service and you have an idea of just how thrilling Richard Yancey's Confessions of a Tax Collector: One Man's Tour of Duty Inside the IRS really is. Serving as a revenue agent--or, more informally, a tax collector--of the IRS for two years, Yancey went through strange transformations--from a tall, pencil-thin theater major, in an unforgiving relationship with no steady income, to a mean, muscle-wielding, unyielding revenue officer at the top of his game. What happens in between this tax collecting, money-hungry metamorphosis makes this memorable memoir the stuff of great fiction.
The Americans who shirk tax laws and responsibilities are inevitably tracked, coded, analyzed, pursued, and in general, marked for tax collection by a legion of government workers take center stage. "We have superior intelligence; we know more about our enemies' lives than they know about themselves. We know where they are. We know what they do. We know what they have. We will execute what they fear," Yancey writes. Just envision the line-up of misfits and average joes who populate the screen on Cops or America's Funniest Home Videos and you'll be close to imagining the range of people Yancey tangles with. Vengeful middle managers, hard-working small business owners, mean-spirited tax protestors, hardened tax evaders--the list of characters goes on and on. Every one of the people tracked within the walls of Yancey's local IRS office has the same, pitiful problem: the tax man cometh and the "beast needs to be fed." Equal parts love story, business tale, high-speed chase, and self-evolution, Yancey's Confessions of a Tax Collector packs plenty of human drama--all of it experienced and survived by one man. --E. Brooke Gilbert
About this product: Problems resulting from tax law blunders aren't new. Tax attorney Michael Savage contends, however, that small businesses that run afoul of the Internal Revenue Service and face big fines are often not guilty of malfeasance; rather, he says, they simply lack the wherewithal to handle complicated regulations as competently as their larger counterparts. In Don't Let the IRS Destroy Your Small Business: 76 Mistakes to Avoid, Savage lays out major potential stumbling blocks and in easy-to-understand language outlines ways to avoid them.
About this product: No one wants to be audited by the IRS. Even taxpayers who are certain that their returns were accurate and all of their deductions and other tax write-offs are justifiable are somewhat intimidated by the receipt of notice from the IRS that they have been selected for an audit. Having to offer proof of income, deductions, exemptions and credits, especially if the proof may be missing or inadequate, can be unnerving. Even more unsettling is that the IRS auditor can still disagree with your proof even when you have all your receipts.
Beat an IRS Audit provides readers with everything they need to know to handle an audit. From discussing information on avoiding the audit in the first place, to explaining what steps to take to prepare for one if selected, the entire process is simplified and made understandable.
About this product: The United States Federal Tax Code is extremely lengthy and complicated. In some cases, it requires 250 pages of instruction for just one of its paragraphs. Add to that 8 billion pages of 480 different tax forms American taxpayers receive each year from IRS (enough paper to stretch around the earth 28 times) and it's no wonder so many people are intimidated and confused about their taxes.
Enter Roni Deutch. Part tax-code savant, part force-of-nature, Roni Deutch is the tax expert that the Internal Revenue Service doesn't want America to know about. The Roni Deutch brand name is well known among American taxpayers but Roni is even better known in the hallways of the IRS where she has spent the past 20 years learning how to make IRS agents quake in their cubicles at the mere mention of her name. But that's only part of the story. Roni Deutch is perhaps more definable as the answer to the primary question on the lips of tax-oppressed people from coast-to-coast: "With the IRS on my tail, who will speak for me?"
Quite simply, Roni will. Now, as the "Tax Lady," she's taking her message to the street, teaching people how to fight the IRS and win. The Tax Lady's Guide to Beating the IRS―and Saving Big Bucks on Your Taxes frees the long-suffering American tax-paying public by giving them the insights they need to fight back and keep more of what they earn in their own pockets―and out of the pockets of Uncle Sam. Roni Deutch explains basic tax principles and strategies that have meaning across every stage of life, translating tax code so it makes sense. She gives the American public the tools they need to develop a plan for their money so they wind up with a bigger slice of their own pie.
