Reviews"Martin Kaplan has joined the ranks of tax advice authors, but with a different take on the issues. To Mr. Kaplan, what matters more than such details as the rule that a written receipt, not just a canceled check, be provided for charitable contributions of more than $250, is understanding the personality of the Internal Revenue Service. . . . He contends that knowing the IRS personality can help . . . during an audit." --The New York Times "How the IRS operates and how the individual can cope with the system is the fascinating subject of What the IRS Doesn't Want You to Know. . . . Martin Kaplan relies on his considerable experience to explain how to minimize your chances of being audited. . . . A worthwhile, richly informative book." --Barron's "With the recent overhaul of the IRS and the changes in tax law that will affect this year's filing, Kaplan's expertise and insider knowledge is more useful than ever." --Business Life Magazine "Mr. Kaplan and Ms. Weiss provide a wealth of revealing information on the tax collection process." --The Wall Street Journal
