J.K. Lasser′s Small Business Taxes is designed to help business owners make sense of their taxes and file correctly, on time, without over– or under–paying. Maximize your bottom line with a complete listing of all available business expense deductions, small business tax planning strategies, and the most up–to–date tax laws and requirements, including plain–English instructions on how to qualify, how to claim, and how to file. There′s an e–supplement with the latest tax developments from the IRS and Congress. From employee wages and advertising, to repairs, rents, debts, and more, this book answers all of your questions about your 2016 filing. Stop wading through mountains of paperwork and browsing sketchy tax advice—this book puts America′s most trusted tax advisors to work for your business. Detailed guidance includes recordkeeping requirements, dollar limits, sample forms, and checklists, and even shows you exactly which line on which form needs what information—and where to find it.
Business taxes have so many moving parts that putting it all together can seem more difficult than actually running your business in the first place. J.K. Lasser puts a stop to the madness by breaking down the requirements, forms, and processes into a sensible workflow, with expert help that can save your business money.
Organize your recordkeeping for a more streamlined filing
Claim income and losses from business, property, and capital gains
Identify the many business expenses that qualify as deductions
Learn professional planning strategies specifically for small businesses
Work more efficiently with your own tax advisor
You′re an expert on your business, not taxes.

Lasser′s Small Business Taxes is the ultimate guide to filing quickly, correctly, and with less stress, so you can get filed and get back to work.
