The nice thing about the Tax Guide for Engineers is that it is written
in PLAIN ENGLISH, including detailed examples with descriptions, as
well as references to relevant court cases and IRS rulings.  Indeed,
Publication 17 contains everything you need to know about preparing
your tax forms, but there's so much irrelevant material there written
in such a way that I find it tedious to sort out.  With regard to
deducting the cost of the tax guide, you can only deduct it in the
year in which you paid for it.  So, if you buy a tax guide for
preparing your 1983 tax return in 1984, then you may deduct the cost
of the guide on your 1984 tax return.
