Average Rating: 
Rating: - Problems with the IRS
Kaplan does an in-depth job of outlining problems within the IRS structure. Like most tax writers, the information tends toward avoiding an audit. The chapter on misconceptions of tax information is exceptional and with 45 million self-employed tax payers this is a group who are subjected to frequent audits. This number is rising as companies are down sizing and young people skilled in computer technology enter to workforce as small business owners.

My annual salary grew steadily each year since graduating from college in 1994. However, there was hardly any money to pay off my credit card bills and forget about nice vacations or investing! I'd had enough. I heard of IT jobs that paid $50/hr. (or more). One day I had a conversation with an IT contractor with 7 years experience.
