Many taxpayers overpay, underpay, or make avoidable mistakes because they lack a clear understanding of IRS requirements. A Professional Tax Filing Guide For Individuals and Small Business Owners addresses that problem by explaining taxes in a structured, step-by-step way.

It begins with the fundamentals of income, withholding, and tax brackets, and then moves on to deductions, credits, and the filing process.

Readers also learn how life changes, like marriage, children, and homeownership, affect taxes and what actions should be taken.

For freelancers and self-employed individuals, the book explains self-employment taxes, quarterly estimated payments, business deductions, recordkeeping, and common errors that lead to penalties.
