Writer's Pocket Tax Guide

New print edition of the Writer's Pocket Tax Guide!

The Writer’s Pocket Tax Guide is a simple guide to the federal tax rules applicable to the income and expenses of those who write for a living. It includes a line-by-line review of Schedule C and Form 8829 with explanations and examples on how to apply the rules for income, business expenses, depreciation, auto expenses, home office deductions, and much more.

Darlene Cypser has been writing the Writer’s Pocket Tax Guide for freelance writers since 1988. The Guide has been highly praised by writers across the country. This year the WPTG has been expanded to cover how people who write as employees can report their employee business expenses.

The Writer’s Pocket Tax Guide began as a "pocket-size" paperback book. This version includes a CD with a digital version of the Guide plus useful IRS publications, forms, and instructions.

CD Requirements: PC or Macintosh with a CD-ROM drive and a web browser (e.g. Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer). Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to read the tax forms and IRS publications which are included as pdf files.

The paperback version with CD is $16.99 postage paid. It can be ordered directly from us or purchased online at Amazon.com or in-person at the Denver Book Mall or the Tatter Covered in Denver, Colorado.

For $10.00 you can receive access the online version of Writer's Pocket Tax Guide for a full year which will include any revisions during that year.
