5 out of 5 starsBetter than expected. Excellent tax source., 2008-04-18
Contains a lot of useful information with sufficient detail. I've been using Master Tax Guides by CCH, but I found some items (e.g. Related Parties Passive Real Estate Loss treatment) in Lasser's that the CCH book didn't cover sufficiently. Excellent resource and well written.

5 out of 5 starsThe Best Tax Guide For Self-Preparation, 2008-04-07
I normally use TurboTax to file my income tax returns (this year I used TurboTax Premier), but always buy J. K. Lasser's "Your Income Tax" as there is always some question that comes up about the returns. This year was no different.

I have modestly complex returns, and this year was more complicated than normal. I had a complex transaction in which some compensation was taken as company stock, which subsequently depreciated and was sold. TurboTax had no clue how to handle it (it actually turned out to be easier than I thought), but Lasser came through, albeit with a little digging.

In all honesty I could probably do without the book as TurboTax is getting better, and the IRS web site is becoming more user-friendly, but I find that for the very modest price, the value of having nearly every answer at my fingertips overwhelms the potential savings from doing without it.

J. K. Lasser provides excellent examples and preparation tips for even complex returns, and I truly believe that if this book doesn't contain the answers to your questions you need professional tax help. I highly recommend this book as the best of the tax preparation guides.

3 out of 5 starsVery informative, 2008-02-28
I didn't use this book much to file my taxes. Information on deductions seemed incomplete and lacked details. I found myself still going to the IRS website for info. I used TurboTax this year and probably could have done without this book. It is a great resource if you plan on filing your own taxes on paper.
