Spend Your Hard-Earned Money On Another Book.......2000-06-07
As an owner of a small business, I'm always reading and keeping up with the tax laws, and ways to implement legal tax avoidance strategies. I have read quite a few books on the subject. Mr. Fellman's book is technically accurate, however I had trouble with his "joking" style of writing. I suppose he is trying to make a dry subject more interesting, but I found the style to be condescending and that it sometimes made the material more confusing than it is. Yes, the tax laws are tangled, but I prefer to read without the joking, questionairre format. A more readable, straightforward book on the subject is Robert Cooke's Doing Business Tax Free. Also, for a true in-depth reference volume of the small business owner's tax avoidance options, I found it helpful to skim & reference the very thick, but very informative, How to Pay Zero Taxes by Jeff Schepper.

IRA's, 401(k)s & Other Retirement Plans, by financial specialists Twila Slesnick and John C. Suttle, is a solid self-help legal look at a critical back-end issue that most of us blissfully ignore until we absolutely must confront it. The authors themselves admit it is not a compelling page-turner, but rather a comprehensive resource that at some point should prove indispensable to everyone with a retirement plan. They describe the various plans available--including Roth IRAs, to which an entire chapter is devoted--focusing on distribution rules, associated taxes, and potential penalties. They offer details on early distributions used to pay higher-education expenses or health-insurance premiums (which are not subject to taxes, under certain explicit conditions), distributions you must take during your lifetime (when they begin, how they're computed, what happens if your beneficiary changes), and distributions made after an account holder dies (largely concentrating on administrative procedures that could help you avoid unnecessary financial loss). Helpful appendices include relevant IRS forms, notices, and schedules as well as life-expectancy tables. --Howard Rothman

Customer Reviews:
Great Book!.......2007-02-16
Excellent reference on how to extract money from retirement plans. Gives specific requirements necessary to receive penalty free withdrawals. I highly recommend this easy to understand, plain english book.
Crucial Information.......2006-07-20
This book contains must have information for anyone owning an IRA. I had a previous version and wanted to keep current as I approach the magic age. This book tells you how to avoid fines and penalties from the dastardly IRS. Keep as much of your hard earned savings as possible for as long as possible by reading this book several times then saving it for future reference. I also marked many pages for my beneficiaries just in case. Do yourself a favor and invest in this book.
Very User Friendly!.......2005-08-29
The book is well organized. I was able to use it, immediately, to answer 'basic questions' to help a relative avoid a costly mistake and, more importantly, to learn 'options' that could help. Though I am an insurance agent, I've had little exposure to the 401(k), IRA, etc., market. This book is quickly moving me to the 'top 20% group' of informed agents and financial advisors. I highly recommend it, thanks to Ed Slott!
Pay attention to the sub-title.......2005-05-06
The reviewer plugging the "MarketBuster" book has totally missed the point of this NOLO book, which is given in the subtitle: Taking Your Money Out. The reviewer is talking about strategies for growing your account.
When you're in the savings/growing mode you're in a whole different situation than you're in when you're having to withdraw and/or live off your account. Going from one to the other requires a major change in strategy and, more important, a MAJOR change in mindset and, often, life style.
You're confronted with a whole new set of regulations, whether the reason for the change is retirement, inheriting an account, etc. The biggest change in mindset is that instead of the pleasant pre-retirement situation of watching the money accumulate, you have to recognize that you're now going to be watching it DECLINE. And unless you've got a tremendously more than sufficient account, you're going to have to live with the knowledge that you could outlive the account, possibly due to your own mistakes, some of which this book can help you avoid.
Four years ago I was confronted with making this shift a whole lot sooner than I'd planned, and with getting control of my retirement accounts under conditions where I had little help. Without the previous edition of this NOLO book, I would have been totally lost and probably made serious mistakes.
Now, one caveat: This book does not tell you how to MANAGE your withdrawals and account so as to produce INCOME; as one should expect from NOLO press as a LEGAL advice publishing house, it deals with the nuts, bolts, traps and hazards of the PROCESS of getting the money out.
In my situation I also found that there is not a whole lot of good material out there on the subject of managing your money and account IN the WITHDRAWAL stage, and this subject is affecting more and more people, as the country shifts from defined benefit (pensions) plans to plans like 401Ks and IRAs that place the job of investing and managing on the individual.
It is a whole lot more complex, risky, and stressful than most people realize, especially considering the general abysmal education (lack of) even young people receive on the subject, let alone people my age who were raised to count on pensions, etc. (And thank goodness for Social Security, which while far from adequate, can still supply a firm base of about 30 to 50% of a retirement income; although that's another issue)
So I recommend this book as essential for the basic procedures, but you will also need additional information on how to manage your income account(s). Personally, in addition to a good fee based financial planner, I found invaluable help from folks who have actually been doing the job for years, especially in the forums of Morningstar, for example. But you have to be on constant alert for scamsters and the whole "how to be a billionaire" publishing crowd. You're going to have to invest some serious time and effort in educating yourself for a the whole new job of retirement, and this book is an excellent place to start, preferably BEFORE you actually have to start TAKING YOUR MONEY OUT.
A practical, easy-to-understand instructional.......2004-10-12
Now in an updated and expanded sixth edition, IRAs, 401(k)s & Other Retirement Plans is a solid guide written especially for lay readers to better understand the types of retirment plans available in America. From tax issues, including taxes on early distributions, to the time at which one is required to take some distributions, to determining one's designated beneficiary in case of premature death, and much more, IRAs, 401(k)s & Other Retirement Plans is a practical, easy-to-understand instructional. Highly recommended for anyone cultivating an IRA or concerned about ensuring that the right person benefits from it.

Small paperback
Product Description
From back cover: For the last 40 years, Congress has been on a spending spree which has left America with a national debt of more than three trillion dollars. That works out to more than $12,000 for every man, woman, and child in America! How did it happen? What can we do about it and what will happen to America if Congress fails to take action immediately to deal with a budget process that is out of control? 'Wasting America's Money' attempts to answer these and other pressing questions through historical perspective and specific examples of pork-barrel spending and foolishness that even the most ardent tax-and-spend advocate would have difficulty defending.

Microsoft Access 97 Bible has proven so popular that IDG has re-released it as Microsoft Access 97 Bible, Gold Edition. The updated edition features new material, plus a hard cover that ought to extend the life of the book if it's often borrowed from the desks of office managers and systems teams.
Microsoft Access 97 Bible, Gold Edition, explains everything there is to know about using Microsoft Access 97, which is quite a lot. Authors Cary N. Prague and Michael R. Irwin begin with the software installation process and work their way through all the features important to people who create and use relational databases with Access.
Since the greater part of the text is modeled around case studies (the case study files are on the companion CD-ROM), the process of learning about new features has a distinctly practical feel, even when the book gets into programming for Access with Visual Basic for Applications.
As the authors guide you through the capabilities of Access, they cover tables, forms, queries, reports, joins, and the various ways of giving the data a pleasing appearance. They also address external data sources, macro programming, and the specific procedures involved in making labels and form letters. If you're a small business owner who'd rather spend some time developing new skills than hiring a consultant, you can use this book to help you create custom database tools for your company. --David Wall

Customer Reviews:
Carelessly designed and written.......2004-05-27
I must preface this short review with the confession that I am using this book without the CD.
In any case, the material is laid out in a very haphazard way and does not build up the example in stages. In addition, I have noticed that a number of the components in the example are actually incorrect! There is a general sense that the authors put no time into planning or proofreading and rushed the entire book. In some areas the explanations are so bad that they lay the onus on the reader to derive the conclusions, where the conclusions should be made clear by the authors.
Errors in the text and unclear definitions.......2002-03-03
I am using this book as the text for an internet class on Access and am very disappointed in the clarity and quality of the book. The database names on the CD do not correspond the text. Explanations of concepts, for example the different types of relationships, I found to be more clearly defined in the Microsoft manuals that come with Access. There are places where the text refers to an example that does not correspond to the text (e.g. pointing out that an option must be selected and it is not checked in the example).
There must be a better written book!!!
This is supposed to be a reference?.......2002-02-08
I suppose if you've never seen Access before, this could be a good book to enable you to build very simple databases. As a reference I find it atrocious. I probably should have found something that wasn't a "for Dummies" style book.
Worthy of the name "Bible"!.......2001-09-15
This is an excellent book that is very easy to read & understand. The autor even offers a website for additional info!
Excellent book for beginners and refreshers.......2001-05-17
I purchased this book and found it very useful and practical. It didn't scare me with a lot of cryptic terminology and charts. And it didn't lose me in a sea of mind-boggling technical jargon I was not familiar with. It stepped through the building process comprehensively, for the most. There were a few glitches on the CD, and in some parts some of the exercises didn't seem to work or produced an error message. But overall, it was a good, comprehensive book. Not for computer gurus, definitely, but for someone needing the basics or looking to refresh, it is very useful.
I had tried some of the Idiot's books on Access as well as a much more expensive copy from Microsoft Press. The Idiot's books tended to insult my intelligence, while the Microsoft Press book found me snoring on my keyboard. This one kept me awake and informed.
