The Ernst & Young Tax Guide 2005

FROM THE PUBLISHER

What the IRS doesn’t tell us,
Ernst & Young does.

Year after year, The Ernst & Young Tax Guide hits national bestseller lists and garners rave reviews. The most user-friendly, most current guide available to preparing your own tax return, this essential resource contains all the information readers need to save on their taxes. The accessible format walks us step-by-step through the daunting filing process, with sample tax forms and schedules demonstrating how to fill out a tax return line by line. As the only guide that provides complete coverage of the new tax law provisions, the necessary forms for the upcoming tax season, plus the IRS’s official filing instructions for these forms, it’s no wonder The New York Times praises it as “the top choice among popular tax books.”

The Ernst & Young Tax Guide is really two books in one. The first book is a reproduction of the official IRS tax guide, Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax. Published annually, this guide contains the position of the IRS on many of the questions taxpayers need answered. The second book is the Ernst & Young guide, offering comments, explanations, and tax-saving tips on what the IRS tells us—and doesn’t tell us. The two books have been combined in one volume to provide taxpayers with the most thorough guide on the market.
