Publisher's Note
EastHill Press was established in 1996 with the goal of providing necessary information to owners of small businesses. A substantial increase in the number of new small businesses has resulted in an abundance of books on related topics. EastHill's goal is to produce books on subjects that are not being adequately covered by other books and to design those books in such a way that they can be easily read and used by the audience for whom they're intended. Minding Her Own Business: The Self-Employed Woman's Guide to Taxes and Recordkeeping is EastHill's first title. A long-time tax and business consultant takes the "numb" out of numbers and gives women entrepreneurs all the information and forms they need to save money and stay out of trouble with the IRS. According to the National Foundation of Women Business Owners, there are nearly 8 million woman-owned businesses. Women are starting businesses at twice the rate men are, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration, and it is estimated that by the year 2000, women will own half of a small businesses. This guide, written especially for new business owners and the recently self-employed, takes a detailed look at starting a new business and keeping accurate records, explaining each step in simple language even the most number-phobic can understand. Readers will also find plentiful tax forms, examples, and answers to commonly asked questions. New to this edition are complete information on 1997 tax law changes and an expanded resource section featuring lots of new web sites. "Down-to-earth, comprehensive guide...presented in a clear, inviting format....Indispensable for the new small business owner". -- FeministBookstore News
Industry Reviews
Zobel, who has run her own tax-preparation and consultation business for the past 18 years, has prepared a guide designed to help women entrepreneurs with tax questions. She divides her book into two sections: the first discusses types of entities (e.g., sole proprietorship, partnerships) under which the business can be operated; the second is concerned with keeping track of financial records, including what records to save, how to keep records effectively, and what the Internal Revenue Service looks for when it calls taxpayers for audits. Sample tax forms are provided throughout the book. A helpful addition is the list of books, other publications, and agencies related to taxation and entrepreneurship. Because there may be changes in tax forms and regulations, one hopes this source will be updated on a regular basis. An excellent starting point for learning how to keep records effectively and becoming informed about the latest tax regulations; recommended for public libraries. Lucy T. Heckman, St. John's Univ.
