Information Packed Book! Lots of Great Tips
I thought this book was excellent! I learned quite a lot from reading it and hope to really apply what I have learned to my finances. It was jam packed with helpful tips and ideas on how to take full advantage of tax loopholes. I would recommend this to any small business owner!!

simplistic
Not very well written. Its is simplistic & somewhat condescending.
Read it and weep
This book makes a lot of assumptions.It assumes that the reader is EXTREMELY well versed in corporate tax advantages.It assumes that the reader already owns a corporation.It assumes that the book will be read with a dictionary of financial terms close at hand.(It should be.The book is poorly written, with key terms lacking adequate defenition.)I support the Rich Dad series.It is a great way for a beginner to get their feet wet.This book assumes that the reader can already swim!Even the seasoned incorporator would probably not be pleased with this book.Tell you what, if you are considering buying this book, save yourself some money and just send me ten bucks.I'll then call you (on my own dime) and summarize the book for you.Oh, what the heck, I'll do it now, for free...surround yourself with a competent team of advisors. ...

A good book with no index
I found the material important and well explained but the diagrams are completely irrelevant and useless. Its focus on California was especially useful for selfish reasons. I also recommend Nolo's "Form Your Own Limited Liability Company" as a general guide that is very well written. Crouch's book is useful if you are in California, however.
Profits, Taxes, & LLCs
The book is very detailed about the financial.Hard to understand and I have several degrees.I have taken graduate course in accounting and was a tax preparer and still found it difficult to understand what he's taking about.Overall it a reference book, but leaves some questions unanswered and might not help in doing the bookkeeping for a new LLC you just formed.

The philosophy of LLC taxation
I liked the approach.It's not a recipe for starting an LLC (there are plenty of those out there).It is more like background reading about the philosophy driving how LLCs are taxed, and what that means for how the LLC income is distributed and reported.Lots on maintaining capital accounts.There was a fair amount I ignored -- California and real estate specific information --but the rest was very helpful.Chapter 5 on tax forms and Chapter 7 on partnership rules were especially useful. ...

An excellent technical resource
The nonprofit sector is a huge part of the American economy. Nonprofits range from multinationals to your local little league. While, technically, the same body of tax laws applies to all of them, the level of sophistication varies as dramatically as the size of the nonprofit. And while the big nonprofits can afford to buy expertise, smaller nonprofits have to manage more of the tasks themselves. This book can help. Very comprehensive "hornbook."
In mid-1999 I read this treatise in conjunction with the author's one day course on the Law of Tax Exempt Organizations.The book is essentially a "hornbook:"a summary of law geared towards lawyers andaccountants, rather than the casual reader.It would be especially helpfulfor lawyers and accountants in outside firms who counsel a variety ofdifferent tax exempt organizations and are confronted with questions of howto structure an organization or several related organizations.Thematerial is valuable but no easy slogging, so if you can take the course(which in mid-1999 was approx. $230 and included the book), it would beworth the extra $70 or so.

The single most important treatise on the law of nonprofits
US nonprofit boards, officers, senior managers, and funddevelopment professionals have enough to contend with without alsoracing to keep pace with the accelerating changes in the multi-faceted law of tax-exempt organizations.Read more

Importance of Tax Aware Investing Brought to the Forefront
This book could/should be used as a handbook for investment professionals considering tax aware investing. Doug has compiled years of research, insight and practice into a concise "manual" to shed some light on this complicated,and ever-changing aspect of investment management.Billions of dollars are needlessly lost each year from investors' portfolios because investment professionals fail to consider the impact of taxes when constructing and managing investment portfolios.

OK as a reference dictionary
The book is useful as a reference dictionary of accounting and tax related terminology.I was expecting instead a listing of deductions as implied by the title.

Best Layman's Tax Book
No tax code just no non-sense explainations of what is and is not deductible. I am a tax preparer and I give these to all of my small business clients

Great addition to your library of books on biz deductions
This is a great book for starters. It shows each deduction with explanation. I still use it as a reference before calling my accountant. There is not much surprises as far as new deductions but this books is a great addition to your reference library.
