Self-employed Tax Solutions [Posted on 2007-06-13]
Easy to understand. I am new to it all and learned quickly thanks to Junes pesentation of the material. Also will be a great reference manual come actual tax time!

Small Business Answers [Posted on 2007-09-04]
"Self-Employed Tax Solutions" is an excellent self help start to treating your cottage industry as a business and working your way through the intricacies of filing federal taxes as a small business. Ms. Walker's explanations are clear and well illustrated.
We had no trouble understanding each point and applying the rules to our own small business situation. The only problem we found was her citing a court ruling, putting it in quotes, and not providing a bibliographic source.
Both the glossary and the index are adequate for the novice readers. The style was breezy and light, which made the reading easy.
A good place to start for an entry level "indie" who needs basic tax information. She has several "wish I'd thought of that" ideas for keeping records and saving time.

Simply The Best [Posted on 2007-12-19]
By far the best self-employed book on taxes that I have read to this day! A must read for anyone who has been in business and would like to understand better what the CPA is saying, and a definite must for anyone thinking about being self-employed.

Author is windy. Book is OK. There are better out there [Posted on 2007-12-27]
This book was OK. I agree with the alliteration criticism of the other reader. Too much like fantasy. Too many references and suggestions that you MUST get a professional preparer or take your records to a professional preparer/accountant. Why bother reading this book if I wanted to pay someone else to do my taxes? The author's "Most Simple System" is a re-hash of Fluery's "No Entry Accounting" system in his book from years ago called "Small Business Survival Guide" only Fluery takes it a step further and recommends you doing your own taxes. Ms. Walker takes you to the brink of this but falls short. You've already done 95% of the work with her "system" so why not finish it? I recommend you start with this book then read "Small Business Survival Guide" and you'll be in good shape and not have to pay an accountant to do your taxes. Fluery's book is out of date but the Schedule C hasn't changed all that much since that book was published. Get a new version of Sch. C, combine the info from both books and you are all set.

Finally, this book repeats itself over and over. It could be half as long.

Full of useful information! [Posted on 2007-12-29]
This book is head and shoulders above most other books on the market of its kind. Most books gloss over and repeat what is freely available in the tax booklets; this book explains and expands on that information. Plus, it gives you tips on how to plan ahead so as to take legal advantage of the tax opportunities offered within the tax code. It is well organized and a certain reliable resource for self employed individuals.
