"I'd like to thank everyone involved for setting up today's teleconference on Taxes and Authors. I had not realized the amount of taxes that could be saved by creating a Subchapter S corporation. From what Robert Pesce said, I probably should have done this several years ago. However, this one teleconference probably paid my membership for life ... "
— Robert Ferrett, computer textbook author

"An outstanding conference! The presenter was very knowledgeable and organized. He laid out some very useful principles in an engaging, informal style well suited to the format. Although I thought I was already fairly "up to speed" regarding some of the topics, I learned some additional money-saving tax strategies in this presentation. When I put those strategies into play, I'll be making back this year's TAA dues, and quite a bit more, for years to come!"

"This was really helpful! Two of the topics (subchapter S corporations and home offices) were of immediate benefit."

"I don't know of any other professional organization that does so much to directly help its members. Thank you!"

"A great seminar - very practical and useful. Thank you."
