've used both the version for college teachers and, since 1977, the version
for engineers. It is the best I've found for my purposes, and ther's alot
of stuff I've learned from it that has helped me minimize (legally) what
I have to hand over to Uncle Sam each year.  I recommend it highly.

If you read the brochure, you'll find that you have nothing to lose,
since AIS will give you a refund if their guide does not save you
a certain amount of money (I don't recall the amount).
