ALL Anybody Needs to Know About Independent Contracting: With Forms, Instructions and Other Helpful Items

I've read the other reviews, and yes, I agree that Waxman would have been well served by having a better technical writer do a professional run-through to clean up the style. Releasing a well-edited second edition would be an improvement. That having been said, however, I agree with other reviewers that in CONTENT this book is well worth the investment and the read. If you are an employer or an employee and you want to know the pros and cons and how-tos of independent contracting vs. conventional employment, then you will not be disappointed with what there is to be learned by reading this book. Having read it, you will be in a position to create a good relationship with contractors, the local authorities, and the IRS, and you will know what to ask them, and what to tell them. Forgive the style; it is good data.

Written by business attorney Shelly Waxman for the non-specialist general reader, All Anybody Needs To Know About Independent Contracting is an informed and informative guide to capitalizing on the Employment Revolution to escape the traps of wage-slavery and excessive taxes. From the necessary requirements to fulfill for independent contractor status, to tax saving tips, to protocols for setting up one's business, All Anybody Needs To Know About Independent Contracting is commended as being a practical, easy-to-follow, effective resource for readers of all educational or business backgrounds.

The title says it all. It really is "all anybody needs to know about independent contracting." You can be an independent contractor in any line of business. So, if the idea of being your own boss and saving some money in the process appeals to you, or even if you are just curious, you own it to yourself to read this book. Packed full of details, with forms, instructions and worksheets, the book walks you through the process, from deciding if you even want to be an independent contractor, through setting up your records, getting started and where to go for additional help if you need it. As a former contractor, now retired, I just wish this book had been available when I started out.

Just as Athena sprang fully-grown from the head of Zeus, Shelly Waxman's new book, "All Anybody Needs To Know About Independent Contracting" comes complete, with everything you need to know. Shelly learned about this specialty in tax law from the total victory of his client told in Chapter 11 of his tour de force memoirs,"In the Teeth of the Wind: A Study of Power and how to Fight It."I fervently hope this means that Shelly will be writing a new book from each chapter of his memoirs. If you still don't know that your life and liberty are being sacrificed as an offering on the altar of the State, you need to read both books. If you are sufficiently aware of the perils that pertain to your personal existence, then you need to start planning your escape to freedom. Shelly's latest book is the first place to look for that start. Tread Deeply and Fear not! There are no passages of incomprehensible prose or legalese to wade through. This book is disarmingly user friendly. Not only is the language easy to comprehend, this book takes the notion of user friendly to new heights by encouraging all readers to act according to its directions, while, at the same time, dispelling misinformation about any bad consequences of doing so. And, again, this is complete, in the sense that Waxman tells you in no uncertain terms why you need to take this action now. With all the faulty legal literature strewn about the Internet and in hard copy from dubious sources claiming to be counsellors of law, although not admitted to the bar, Attorney Waxman's books fill the void with comprehensive, comprehensible, competent legal literature that you can use for yourself and by yourself.
