Product Description
Product Description
In this lively book, veteran tax attorney Michael Savage provides essential tax advice to small business owners, many of whom pay exorbitant tax fees for mistakes that may have easily been avoided. Without staff attorneys at their disposal, small businesses can get into big financial trouble, not out of dishonesty, but because they dont know where the potential tax landmines lie.Concise, practical and irreplaceably instructive, Dont Let the IRS Destroy Your Small Business covers seventy-six areas of tax law that cause business owners the most trouble, regardless of what business they are in: payroll tax liability, excessive salaries, travel and entertainment expenses, fringe benefits, pension plans, owning multiple companies, and many more.

A must-read for small business owners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Don't Let the IRS Destroy Your Small Business: Seventy-Six Mistakes to Avoid (Paperback)
This is a book that will save you pain and heartache in any battle with the IRS or state taxing authorities. Learn about the expensive mistakes you can make trying to take shortcuts in managing payroll and other tax related expenses.If you hire people, if you claim T&E deductions, if you try to maximize the benefits of owning a business, take a few minutes to read Savage's relevent insights. The book is set up as an easy read; go through the stuff you really need now and go back to the other information later. My accountant charges me $100 an hour and this $12 book saved me more money in the first few chapters than my accountant did all last year.

All income taxation is extortion. Abolish it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Don't Let the IRS Destroy Your Small Business: Seventy-Six Mistakes to Avoid (Paperback)
Any system of income taxation leads to federal overspending, misspending and poor accountability to the citizens paying the taxes.Read "Why Government Doesn't Work" by Harry Browne. It got way better reviews than this book! Also, "Your Money or your life" is excellent.

Great book - concise and helpful,
By Geoffrey Amthor - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Don't Let the IRS Destroy Your Small Business: Seventy-Six Mistakes to Avoid (Paperback)
This book outlines 76 ways that small businesses often get in trouble with the IRS. A lot of these mistakes are very tempting to make -- in fact, one can argue that it's the tax law that's the problem in many cases, not the business practice. Nonetheless, the author makes clear the IRS position on these mistakes, and shows how damaging the mistakes can be when the IRS wins in tax court over the business owners.Every small business owner should read this book. It's remarkably easy to scan and absorb, though the topics are often quite complex at their root. This book cuts through the complexity and makes clear what the dangers are. As the author writes in the introduction, "If things go wrong, it gets expensive. For this reason, you should know *where* things go wrong. Because usually they go wrong in the same place. To see your taxes doubled because you made the same mistake that thousands of other people made before you does not make good business sense." 58 of 61 people found the following review helpful:

Insightful Info about All Areas of the Tax Code,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Don't Let the IRS Destroy Your Small Business: Seventy-Six Mistakes to Avoid (Paperback)
All around great advise that covers practically every area of the tax code for a small business. My accountant can always answer a specific question but he has never put all my posible tax issues into one big picture. This book does that! It covers all the major areas of the tax code such as paying employees vs. contractors, entertainment and meal expenses, retirement plans, loans, and S-Corporations. In all these areas are descriptions of the tax law, how the IRS enforces it, and what can go wrong. Ignore the low ratings from the tax anarchist. This book is 5 stars! 40 of 42 people found the following review helpful:

New information worth buying,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Don't Let the IRS Destroy Your Small Business: Seventy-Six Mistakes to Avoid (Paperback)
I thought I had read it all when it comes to preparing yourself for the IRS, but I was wrong, there is new and useful information in here. It saved me money right away and I can see all the mistakes I have made in the past year in this book. If you have been in business you have made these mistakes. Good Book, could be longer.
