Summary: A must-have for anyone who doesn't still live at home.
Review: "Stand Up To The IRS" (SUIRS) is an absolute, no-question, don't even think twice, must-have for any taxpayer's household financal tool drawer. Clearly written and presented in short, bite-sized chunks by a successful longtime tax attorney who has been through it all many times, SUIRS is an impressively inclusive text that can go a long way toward leveling the audit playing field for taxpayers -- if not outright tipping it in their favor. Loaded with sample forms, letters and where-to-find-it tables, this book earns its cover price in the Index alone. If the location of the answer to your question isn't in there, you're probably not asking it correctly. And if you ever do get audited, Chapter 16 ("The 25 Most Frequently Asked Questions") will probably do more to calm your nerves and help you rest than any sleeping pill will. Mom and dad never taught you this stuff when you were growing up, because they didn't know it. So be a good son or daughter and give them their own copy. Besides, it just might come in handy some day, as described in chapter 9 ("Family, Friends, Heirs and the IRS").

Summary: Excellent to have if you have a disagreement with the gov
Review: I didn't intend to stand up to the IRS but had to due to circumstances beyond my control. Daily's book gives a comprehensive look at what constrains the IRS and what sort of leeway a taxpayer. What I found to be of the most value, though, was his simple explaination of complex circumstances. Daily breaks down various tax problems and solutions and suggests ways to prevent having the IRS resort to putting a lean on your home, etc.I'd highly recommend Daily's book as it has the insider perspective that a taxpayer needs but the dose of reality to prevent a false sense of security when negotiating with the IRS. Daily provides perspective as to what will work in your favor and what you can do to prevent yourself from working against yourself.
