Customer Reviews:
Lasser Let Me down.......2007-08-26
Lasser is a known name in the consumer 'financial' publishing business. This book about retirement planning is very outdated and even misleading in some areas. The calculations it asks the reader to do are with pencil and paper. As my daughter used to say "A,DUUh!" There are a myriad of easy PC based tools in the market that are far superior. I would have returned the book the next day if I bought it at a local book store.
Financial Realism in Retirement.......2007-05-10
This is what happens when a highly qualified person writes a book to help others understand their retirement finances so that they can realistically plan and feel as comfortable as is possible with their present and future financial well-being.
It is based on realistic historical and mathematical facts. The planning methodology is as good as it gets. I can't say enough about how useful this book has been to me to say nothing of the confidence I now have in my personal finances. It's not enough to say that Mr. Hebeler is to be congratulated!
Good stuff.......2007-01-11
This book is different that others I have read and makes much more sense. Just wish I had it 30 years ago.
Thinking of retirement .......2006-06-28
JK Lasser's Your Winning Retirement Plan was very informative. If you are thinking of retirement you may want to read this book first. I found it helpful, and more than ever realize that I need to hire a Financial Advisor, because this is a big step. My money is going to have to get me through my golden years, hopefully for a long time.
Sage advice that will keep you on track.......2003-03-26
Hebeler's approach answered for me my most challenging questions: 1] Will my retirement assets allow me to spend what I need (want) to spend each year during my years in retirement? 2] Can I grow my assets at my desired rate while simultaneously lowering the risk of my portfolio? 3] How can I evaluate my financial health each year in a meaningful and action-oriented manner?
All your family members should read it. And if after reading Hebeler's book you still feel the need for professional financial planning, insist that he/she read it as well.

Customer Reviews:
IRA for the long term.......2007-06-27
I think I understood the underlying theme of this book, but the author made it more difficult to read and understand than need be. It seemed he was trying to be either clever or funny to the detriment of the content.
Help when I Need It.......2007-01-13
ONly on the first chapter and already learning what I should be doing. Easy to read and understand. With book's help I may be able to save a lot of money.
Concise info on stretch IRA's.......2007-01-04
Ed Slott is considered THE expert on stretch IRA's. Book is aimed at investors who will probably die before depleting their IRA funds. It explains how to structure a stretch IRA to pass this money on to future generations with minimal taxation.
Book is better organized than Slott's previous books. It is very readable. I keep it for a reference and have purchased additional copies for gifts.
Requried Reading for Anyone with an IRA........2006-07-23
This book focuses on ensuring that your IRA is properly set up, so that it can be passed on to beneficiaries intact, effectively establishing a "stretch IRA". The stretch IRA describes an IRA held by a beneficiary, and which will pay out over their lifetime.
This book is very well organized, and the author is clearly very enthusiastic about his subject. He does quite well making his case, that you should ensure your IRA passes intact to a beneficiary, in that it can offer them HUGE tax advantages for their entire life time.
He is also quite good about explaining the steps you need to achieve this. Much of the book is reference material that will not apply to everyone at any given time, but that is not a real criticism. The book is cheap enough, and the sections that apply to all are worth the entire purchase price.
If you have an IRA, and you have any desire to pass your assets along to a beneficiary, this book is an excellent starting point.

Customer Reviews:
excellent source of information.......2007-01-12
I found this book to be very helpful in my financial planning for retirement...it gives easy to follow steps,suggestions,ideas and guidelines for maximizing your IRA's,401k's and retirement funds. Ed Slott has provided us with another excellent source of information for the everyday Joes like me....he does not overwhelm you with minutia and needless facts and figures...By reading this book you may not become an IRA guru but it will enable you to ask the right questions to your professional financial planner.I have passed it on to my family members to read and make their financial plans accordingly.
IRA Bible.......2006-11-04
The author is easy to understand and makes this highly specialized material fun to read. I refer to this book and Mr Slott's other book, "The Retirement Savings Time Bomb" as my IRA Bible's. This is a must read for financial services professionals and consumers with money in IRA accounts.
Excellent information on Trust and IRAs.......2005-11-26
Ed does a great job on giving you detailed information of how to stretch your IRA assets for the next generation. He also does a great job of including information on how to write your trust so that you can control your assets beyond the grave. This is mainly important for clients who have lots of assets in their IRAs or for people who just pass away before they use their IRA assets. Since you don't know when you are going to pass away, I think it is important to get your trust and your IRA beneficiaries set up as soon as possible.
One downside of this book is that Ed seems to sell more of his stuff - his newsletter and his training. If you read his books, I think you have most of the information you need unless you run into very complicated situations. If that happens, then I would suggest getting a good financial advisor, CPA, and an estate planning lawyer to assist you.
Little added.......2005-09-04
Ed Slott repeated alot of what was included in "The Retirement Savings Time Bomb...", so I was not as impressed with this book. You can get 98% of what to do in the "Time Bomb". But if you really want to save all your money to your kids and their kids, it should help you.
Parlay Your IRA into a family fortune.......2005-08-02
Very good information. Is vital information that would be very useful to anyone with a large IRA and a significant number of beneficiaries.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent book.......2006-11-20
I'm surprised there are not many ratings for this book which is the most commonly used Income Tax book in universities. I was happy with it and found it quite challenging. Its humanly impossible to finish all the problems and exercises in a semester.
Don't rely on this book for an online course.......2006-01-19
This book is filled with information but is not easy to follow. The ethical questions do not provide answers which leave you wondering if your own conclusions are accurate. The format tries to cover too much information without going in debth about anything. I used this book for an online accounting class and it was of very little help to me. This truly was one of the worst text books I've ever used.
Late .......2005-09-23
The shipping took 3 weeks and too late for class so I'm returned book I haven't heard anything I wouldn't recommend you to buy from this site
Happy Student!!.......2005-09-19

Written in alphabetical order, the book saves readers the onerous task of hunting through a maze of index entries. Complex, confusing tax and accounting terminology has been replaced with simple, straightforward English. Also included are inspiring quotes, little known facts, and witty cartoons to cheer up readers as they tackle this often-intimidating subject.
Customer Reviews:
This Book Didn't Hold My Attention.......2007-09-22
This book didn't hold my attention very long. I figured instead of learning all this stuff I'd keep good records and take the information to an accountant.
Taxing questions.......2007-04-03
This book is clearly for people in business for themselves. But remember laws change every year, so make sure to get a yearly undate.
OK as a reference dictionary.......2005-07-26
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.......2005-07-11
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.......2004-11-12
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.
Anyone who is self-employed should own 422 Tax Deductions to educate yourself about your possibilities.

Customer Reviews:
Wrong textbook for school........2007-09-30
The book in and of itself is great. It is not the correct book for school. It does not come with turbo tax and RIA checkpoint cd's. You will need each of these student versions too complete your assignments. Thompson publishing offers the full version for about the same amount of money.
Good condition por the price but...........2007-09-04
The delivery of the book was fast, the book was in perfect conditions, BUT it did not include the CD (turbo tax softare) so just pay attention when ordering a book to make sure it comes with all the necessary.
But overall it was a good purchase.
Confused.......2007-06-24
I have to purchase this book for class and am a bit reluctant after reading the reviews. It seems as though the last reviewer knows or works for Hoffman. I am paying over $150 for a book and I therefore want up-to-date, well organized and well written information.
Great Book!.......2006-06-12
This is an excellent book to learn taxation from. I used West taxation books before going on to a career at a big 4 accounting firm!
As far as the previous reviewer, who is obsessed with out of date charts and tax forms....she/he doesn't really understand taxation. Tax codes change year in and out. When these books are published they go with the latest possible information.
Besides, if your goal is simply to learn the basics of preparing taxes, why is it so necessary to have all the current years tax code info? Especially when the tax code doesn't "usually" change a whole lot from year to year.
Anyways, I have checked out other tax textbooks, and this is the one I'd recommend (being someone with SOME experience in this field)
Talk your teacher out of this book!!!.......2005-02-05
If your course requires this book, like mine did, go to the administrator of the school if you have to but talk them out of it.
The book frequently references other later chapters.
The book uses out of date tax forms, when the current years are available for free on irs.gov!
The book 'shortens' tables by grouping together years that are not really at the same rate, when the correct tables are available for free on irs.gov! It only warns you about this once in chapter 8, despite doing so all thru the book.
It spends way too much time on tax laws from prior years, and decades.
The quiz that the book provides for use with the chapters is bad!
It does not take into accout §167(k) which, admittedly only apply to 2003 and 2004, but those are the years given on the test.
It allocates on a 365 day basis for the leap year 2004 when the book (5 times!) told you to use 366 days if it is a leap year.
Some of the questions do not provide enough information to determine the correct answer.
There are also questions about items not mentioned in the book at all.
Not even the woman in class who DID taxes liked this book. It is difficult to imagine anyone it would be good for, unless maybe you needed to figure out how to depreciate a building you purchased in 1986.
