HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

At the beginning of each chapter, you will find a To-Do List and Questionnaire. Read the list and keep it in mind while you read the chapter. As you go along, perform the tasks on the list. If you put everything you do into this book, it will become your business bible. In fact, you can pick up a complete set of these To-Do Lists at www.YourBusinessBible.com.

•  Enter the dates you complete the tasks.

•  Enter the dates you schedule the meetings.

•  Set the deadlines.

•  Enter the answers to the questions.

•  Fill out the forms.

•  Enter the relevant ID numbers as you apply for the licenses or government IDs and programs.

•  Make copies of all relevant documents and place them behind the To-Do List page.

•  Use the resources at the end of each chapter to help you save taxes, operate your business, and increase your profits.

Incidentally, as you may have realized, tax laws change constantly, and most deductions, exemptions, and limits change annually. In fact, by the time this book reaches your hands, there may already be changes and updates. To get a quick summary of the updates, please visit www.YourBusinessBible.com.

Note About Links in This Book

Many of the URLs in this book start out with iTaxMama.com. These are tiny.cc URLs that allow me to edit the underlying link. Too often, links on the Internet change. So if one of these links doesn’t work, please let me know and I can fix the underlying link without needing to change the link in the book. Ain’t technology grand!

Disclosure: Some of the links in the book go to sites that pay me a commission. I don’t recommend the sites because of the commission. They are recommended because they are good resources. But getting a referral fee never hurts. In fact, it’s a good idea for you to learn how to use affiliate marketing yourself—both to earn commissions and to build a referral base to help you sell your products or services. A good place to learn about this is at Affiliate Summit, http://iTaxMama.com/AffiliateSummit.
