    I really can say much except that this is a great primer for the self employed/independent contractor.

    Personally, I think this will become increasingly important as layoffs continue to rise.

    If you have been laid off or think you might be given the forced early retirement notice, read this book.

    I recently a started an S corp for my software contracting. The book is helpful and worth the price. It won’t answer EVERY question you will have, but you probably should talk to a CPA for those anyway.

    They say, “What you don’t know, CAN hurt you”. This is especially true with legal and tax matters. If you are an independent contractor of any sort, “Working for Yourself” can help you avoid costly mistakes.

    It covers a wide range of legal and tax issues that serves a platform for understanding. Detailed inquiry into your particular legal or tax matter is best addressed by a professional familiar with your situation.

    “Working for Yourself” is concise, well written and indexed and serves the purpose of a “Small Business Essential” exceptionally well.

    Recommended.
