 BAD Advice re: homes in LLCs April 17, 2008
William M. Burbank (Orange County, California)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book had a lot of good information but I have to strongly disagree with the idea of putting a persons home into a Limited Liability Company. It sounds great but the IRS has made it clear that they will not find a busines purpose for puting a home in an LLC. Also there are court decisions around the countyr that have found that putting ones home in an LLC does not protect the home from legitamate creditors. LLC are fantastic entities for asset protection, income tax planning, and estate and gift tax planning, in our practice we work them daily, but we never put personal homes into the LLC it is a waste of time and money.

This book is wonderful, especially for folks without a lot of business background. It was very helpful for me when I began to interview accountants.
This book does an excellent job of educating the average person & Small Bussiness Owner on how to structure a business and to legally take advantage of the Internal Revenue Code. It gives great examples, and gives step-by-step guidelines that I actually understood and used.
There are a few typos, but overall a very informative book.
Straightforward information on common tax risks and opportunities November 6, 2006

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This clearly written book offers a handy guide to tax strategy for the rich and for those who hope to be rich. Author Diane Kennedy, a certified public accountant, provides basic information on common tax risks and opportunities. Without using burdensome jargon, she explains the fundamentals of financial reports and record keeping. Her approach is commonsense and straightforward she doesn't make outrageous promises or exotic, inapplicable recommendations. The title is slightly misleading. This book is not really about loopholes, but rather about sound planning and management - especially for business owners. It does get into the minutiae of tax law, which is subject to change, so some of the details may have a short shelf life, and much of the advice will have little applicability outside of the United States. Nonetheless, we recommend this basic guide to anyone who needs a fundamental introduction to personal financial and tax management in the U.S.

Not very well written. Its is simplistic & somewhat condescending.
Later chapters tend to repeat basic concepts covered earlier without expanding upon the issues. There are more knowlegable authors out there that are refreshing and can effectively advance the your knowledge.
