Estate Planning Explained
Knowing little about estate planning, I was forced (quickly) to bring myself up to speed on the subject. I found this book to cover, and explain, the processes behind estate planning. The book explains the topic well andgives the reader several good references. ... Read more

Reforming Government is Hopeless!
Rossotti tried it as head of the IRS from 1997 to 2002, coming from outside government and without prior significant tax experience. At the time, it had the largest number of customers and lowest approval rating of any institution in America. Behind this rating was a new $4 billion computer system that could not meet requirements, callers couldn't get through, staff could not resolve many issues without added calls and letters, there were high error rates in response to caller questions, and numerous charges of staff building "success rates" by deliberately focusing on taxpayers thought least able to resist.
It's not just the IRS
This is a truly remarkable book. Clearly written, with many practical examples and devoid of management jargon, it describes what Charles Rossotti did to signbificantly improve IRS operations.But it's not just about the IRS, or about big, cumbersome government buraeucracies, or about how to change organizations.It's about good management!The principles that guided Rossotti and that he lays out out in this book are universal, such as focus on the customer (that's right, taxpayers treated as customers)and involvement of employees in the improvement process. Those apply to any organization at any time and make this book an extraordinary valuable read for anyone genuinely interested in good management.I highly recommend it.

Government at its best
All those interested in how the best modern management practices of the private sector can be applied to huge government bureaucracies with dramatic benefits to the taxpayer (literally) should read Charles Rossotti's book. This book should remove all doubt about whether it's possible to improve the operational performance of government. The fundamentals are all that's needed: getting one's arms around the whole problem, structural reorganization, customer focus, gathering input from all directions, using modern information technology, leveraging the frustrated talent already in the organization, constant and honest communication, and the right chief executive. Rossotti was the right executive for the IRS, and fortunately he has written a clear and lively narrative of his experiences there. ... Read more

Excellent source of tips and sound advice
I bought Jody Blazek's "IRS Form 1023 Tax Preparation Guide" to help me through the maze of filling out the recently-revised applicaiton form for obtaining 501(c)(3) tax exempt status.It was a very helpful book.I kept it by my side when filling out the form, and emulated the examples it gave.

On the right track, but "The FairTax Book" has a better idea.
McCaffrey's on the right track.Consumption taxes are much better for everyone, from many different perspectives.He does a good job of tracking the history of taxation in the United States; most people don't realize that we haven't had an income tax very long, and our forefathers didn't want an income tax.In fact, it took a constitutional amendment in 1913 to even permit an income tax.However, McCaffery's plan is still too complicated, and prone to wreaking havoc on specific sectors of the economy.The FairTax, as outlined in Rep. John Linder's "The FairTax Book," is superior to and simpler than McCaffery's "Fair not Flat" tax, and maintains progressivity that completely untaxes the poor.And FairTax is much closer to reality, since it's an actual bill in Congress right now (HR 25 and S 25), and it has over 50 co-sponsoring Representatives and Senators.McCaffery should use his talents in the tax policy arena to help support FairTax, which already has a nationwide grassroots network over 700,000 strong.Thanks to McCaffery for bringing more attention to the importance of taxing consumption and not income!

Out of Date but almost right, well half right.
Just get "The Fair Tax Book" or the new paperback update. It explains it better and describes real legislation before the congress right now. Tell your elected officials to support HR25 or SB25 and force a vote on it. It starts with abolishing the IRS and replacing all taxes with a progressive version of a national sales tax. Everybody pays after a pre-bate refund to cover basic poverty level spending tax. Everybody (rich people, drug dealers, illegal aliens, you, and me) pays when buying new goods. Even funds Social Security! Read the book. Call the politicians. Demand action.

A remarkable learning experience
If you want to learn about taxation this is the book. A clear expose of a tax system that is way out of control and how to fix it. Thank you Mr. McCaffery, you are a true scholar and educator. ... Read more
