This is strictly off the record: Here in Hartford, CT the H&R Block offices keep a copy of J.K. Lasser's book on preparing your income tax (exact title escapes me). DO NOT buy the H&R Block book -- it contains only enough info to confuse you into coming into one of our offices. Lasser's book is well written, in plain English, and takes into account all the more normal oddball conditions. It is available in any bookstore for $5 or $6. Highly recommended for those who do their own taxes. Also VERY good is the IRS Publication 17 (Pub 17). It's free from the IRS and also very well written. The last chapter contains a filled-in tax return and an expalanation (in English) as to why it was done that way. This is a line-by-line explanation. -->BoB Miorelli, Pratt & Whitney Aircraft (also H&R Block) decvax!harpo!utah-cs!utah-gr!pwa-b!miorelli
