How to Pay Zero Taxes, 1997 Edition: Your Guide to Every Tax Break the IRS Allows by Jeff A. Schnepper.
For a number of years, the author has been making sense out of interpretative aspects of the tax code involving tax shelters, deductions, exclusions, expenses, and losses. If you have any money at all riding on a gray area, Schnepper may be able to help. His book can benefit many taxpayers, with extensive citations of court cases and IRS rulings for those who dare to keep every penny they are entitled to.
Kiplinger's Cut Your Taxes, 1997 Edition by Kevin McCormally.
Spacious, friendly, smart, and well-organized, this year-round tax guide counts as one of the best. It is skimmable, time-saving, resourceful, and non-astringent. The snappy design includes wide margins for notes, one-panel cartoons reprinted from newspapers, and Q&A's and tables. They always try to get the best and newest cartoons, a thoughtful touch. McCormally is very good at explaining how the system works. It's pretty comprehensive, includes a chapter on surviving an audit, and a good glossary.
