You know, I get contacted almost every day by people who want me to review their products, services, themes, plugins, and books. I must say that I can not respond to every request, so I carefully pick what I think is a winning horse.
Your Blogging Business eBook that I am reviewing today is an excellent and very handy resource for bloggers and online business owners who want to safely file their Income Tax report.
How I Did My Income Tax Report Last Year
If you know me, then you know that I’ve moved to the States a couple of years ago. So, I’ve filed only one Income Tax report so far which was for 2010.
And, what I did was head to one of the H&R Block offices near to where I live, and I got them to do my Taxes for me. And, just FYI, I paid a total of $350 to get their assistance, which is a lot of money considering that I haven’t earned a single dollar that year!
But anyway, it’s OK, I had no experience with IRS Laws that time, even being an accountant couldn’t help me to understand the full picture.
How I will do it this Year
The H&R Block office called me a couple of weeks ago reminding me to visit them this year to start doing my Taxes for 2011. Things were complicated for me last year, but now I have more confidence that I can do my stuff on my own. So, I went ahead and bought the do it at home package, and I am going to play with it in the next few days.
However, last year I made quite good numbers, most of my income came from my design business and affiliate marketing.
By the way you can check a few of my income reports that I published before on the blog.

This means I have some nice work to do this year to file my income Tax report!
