REVIEW OF ULTIMATE TAX-SAVING RESOURCE '08
"Too often, to make the explanations comprehensible to the client, the practitioner needs to provide a condensed introduction to taxation course while the client anxiously glances at the professional's billing clock. This book (Ultimate Tax-Saving Resource '08) would make a nice handout for practitioners to bestow on their clients. Perhaps when they see in print many of the same things their advisors keep telling them to do, clients will be more likely to keep good records, think about taxes throughout the year, and keep their tax attorneys, tax accountants, and tax return preparers informed of changes in the client's life."
-Professor James Edward Maule, Villanova University School of Law
