Best Small Business Taxes

New York Times bestelling author T. R. Reid travels around the world to solve the urgent problem of America's failing tax code, unravelling a complex topic in plain English - and telling a rollicking story along the way. Crammed with loopholes and special interest provisions, it works for no one except tax lawyers, accountants, and huge corporations. Successful American companies like Apple, Caterpillar, and Google effectively pay no tax at all in some instances because of loopholes that allow them to move profits offshore. Never talking down or reflexively siding with either wing of politics, T. R. Reid presses the case for sensible root-and-branch reforms with a companionable ebullience. His eye for the telling detail is sharp… Those unfamiliar with economics, accounting or tax law will be better able to understand these subjects by reading “A Fine Mess.”… With enough readers, Reid might even help us to initiate real tax reform by replacing a tax code so complex it includes the anti-complexity rule in Section 7803(c)(2)(B).”— David Cay Johnston, The New York Times Book Review “A fun book on taxes. Throughout his well-reported, clearly written exposé of United States tax policy, [Reid] reveals the follies of the concept of American exceptionalism and the misguided pride of presidents, members of Congress, and Internal Revenue Service commissioners….Though Reid's topic may be anathema to many readers, he makes it relentlessly revelatory and simple to understand.” — Kirkus Reviews [starred].

We can read of the elaborate tax evasion schemes used by large corporations, like “inversions”, and get outraged at special provisions like “carried interest” whereby brokers who invest other people’s money can treat their own compensation as capital gains rather than ordinary income, thereby allowing Warren Buffet to pay a lower tax rate than his secretary. Most of his recommendations are no-brainers like retaining a progressive tax rate system, reducing complexity, and eliminating special provisions that benefit some small favored company or group."
"Reid is certainly right in arguing that a major reason for our "fine mess" is the way we go about making public policy in a presidential/congressional system which makes it hard for us to do anything quickly or coherently, even when we aren't as divided as we are today--a point he also made in his book on health care. As a comparative political scientist, he is mentioned in my textbook for his books on Confucianism, the EU, and health care."
"READ THIS BOOK!!! Bottom line it is congress who makes out misery."
"Everyone needs to read this book."
"I like Reid's book, as it reveals taxes in a way that most people can understand."
"It drives me nuts when politicians say that people need "to pay their fair share". A 5th grade education in math suggests that this is not possible... someone has to pay more if the government is going to bring in more money."

My book gives basic yet quite extensive information for those people who do not chase a rainbow but want to build a long-term profitable business in one of the cryptocurrency areas: from mining to investing. So, this book is not about: Illegal ways of making money Praising cryptocurrency and urging you to invest in it to the last penny Fraud techniques and making a fast buck Boring and pointless theory Ways to earn millions without investments and risks. This book will help you get to learn the following: Which way of making money in cryptocurrency market suits you best. Understand whether you really want to invest in cryptocurrency (perhaps, this type of business doesn’t suit you at all and you will save your time) Get to learn how to check the risks and not to invest in the first available currency Having considered my experience, protect yourself from possible failures and pouring money down the drain which will inevitably happen if you go it blind.

"Gave me the basics to know what game I'm in."
"My only criticism is that when Norman writes about the economic underpinnings of the market, ie the broad trends contributing to the rise of cryptocurrencies, he could have elaborated more."
"I picked this book up in the hopes to learn more of bitcoin, blockchain, mining, ICO, and how to ride out on the cryptocurrency market."
"Read full summary and review of this book on my blog: imeducatingmyself.com/cryptocurrency-investing-bible-alan-t-norman-book-review. This book really helped me to understand many things when it comes to cryptocurrencies."
"I've never heard of cloud mining before."
"I work as a journalist for 6 years and I have recently started writing. articles about cryptocurrency."
"This is not the first self-published book I've purchased where the author appears to be jumping quickly on a trend - throwing a book together quickly to fill a void. I suppose that the world of cryptocurrency is changing so rapidly that the normal publishing process is probably too slow to serve the market, but this book is just poorly written and confusing. I feel bad about spending the few hours of my life that could be been spent on a more expensive and professionally published book on the same topics."

"Awesome book that gives you ideas and knowledge around the spirit of the tax code wihout getting into boring granular details."
"Great book!"

"This book provides clearly explained tax tips for real estate investors."
Best Personal Taxes

You could try reading all 2,728 rules of the Social Security system (and the thousands of explanations of these rules), but academia’s Kotlikoff, the popular press’s Moeller, and public television’s Solman explain the Social Security system just as comprehensively, and a lot more comprehensibly. Changes to Social Security that take effect in 2016 make it more important than ever to wait as long as possible (until age 70, if possible) to claim Social Security benefits. The new law also has significant implications for those who wish to claim divorced spousal benefits (and how many Social Security recipients even know about divorced spousal benefits?). “Getting smart about Social Security can put tens of thousands of extra dollars in your pocket. The book translates—into often entertaining English—the many convoluted rules that make up the Social Security program. By doing it right, you can add hundreds of thousands of dollars to your lifetime income and leave more money for your spouse as well. Given that there are 2,728 core rules and thousands more supplements to them according to the authors, it pays, literally, to seek out a guide.” (Ron Leiber The New York Times). Smartly written by an all star, financial expert dream team, the engaging, down to earth prose makes Get What’s Yours the definitive guide to maximizing what is, for many, the most important retirement asset by far. From determining the best age to claim (hint: it’s not what you’ve been told) to figuring out the intricacies of spousal benefits to avoiding the ‘gotchas’ that can reduce your checks, this must read guide is truly that. Journalist Philip Moeller writes about retirement for Money and authors the Ask Phil Medicare column for PBS. He also is a Research Fellow at the Center on Aging & Work at Boston College and the founder of Insure.com, a leading site for insurance information.

Worse, Social Security is now up to three million requests every week, but Congress keeps cutting back budget, staff, hours and whole offices. Combine that with the complexity factor, and the authors conclude you cannot trust what Social Security advises. As an aside, there is an annual survey that always says the same thing: nearly 50% of Americans couldn't raise an emergency $2500 in 30 days, not from savings or even from friends and family."
"Through simple charts, the authors point out that millions of Americans are making a BIG MISTAKE by claiming benefits too early. I have always been confused about what the rules were for Social Security benefits. Besides explanation on spousal benefits, there are also chapters to cover special situations, such as parent benefits. I found the most valuable chapters the "Secrets" chapters: Chapter 16, "50 Good News Secrets to Higher Lifetime Benefits," and Chapter 17, "25 Bad News Gotchas that can Reduce Your Benefits Forever." The authors point out that Social Security employees are officially encouraged to sign you up and get your signature whenever you come in to an office and inquire about filing for benefits. In other words, they point out, the Social Security department itself is not really the right place to go for objective answers on how to get the most benefits."
