I'm just curious about these tax guides. What do they tell you that you
can't figure out from Publication 17 (if you can understand the gobbledygook)?
I can't imagine missing some deduction that would save me $200 that I
couldn't have found by reading publicaiton 17. My uncle was a CPA and knew 
every trick, but nothing was mysterious or hidden; it was all right in the
instructions available from the IRS. The only possible advantage I can see
from such a guide would be hints on tax shelters to help you next year, but
I can't see how you can be helped for the year gone by.

                                    Just Wondering,
                                        B. Walsh
