The most user-friendly, most current guide available to preparing your own tax return, this essential resource contains all the information readers need to save on their taxes. The accessible format walks you step-by-step through the daunting filing process, with sample tax forms and schedules demonstrating how to fill out a tax return line by line. As the only guide that provides complete coverage of the new tax law provisions, it's no wonder The New York Times praises it as the top choice among popular tax books. The Ernst & Young Tax Guide is really two books in one. The first is the official IRS tax guide, Your Federal Income Tax, updated by the IRS for 2009 tax preparation. The second book is the Ernst & Young guide offering comments, explanations, and tax-saving tips on what the IRS tells us-and doesn't tell us. These two books have been combined in one easy-to-read volume to provide taxpayers with the most well-rounded and comprehensive tax guide on the market.
