This is an excellent book to read if you are working for yourself. Fishman explains how taxes work for self-employed people, how to make the IRS work for you, while avoiding an audit, and also how to draw up contracts which protect your time and income. If you are self-employed you will need this book. Even better, the matter is very accessible and easy to work through. Fishman breaks the chapters down so that it's easy to find what you need, without necessarily having to read the entire book.
