Book Description

Revised to reflect the changes in the IRS death tax exclusion and the required accounting by executors now that previous required forms are not needed, this guide explains the specific role and duties of an executor for any appointed as such or for anyone who has written a will and has appointed an executor to carry out the specific desires and intentions that a lawyer may not be able to perform if beholden to the legal system. Duties such as taking inventory and appraising a decedent's gross estate and preparing a Form 1040 "final," Form 706 (death tax), and Form 1041 (estate income tax returns) are considerable undertakings that are explained in detail in this guide for the layperson.

5 out of 5 stars What a wonderful little book covering how an executor performs his or her duties in administering and settling a decedent's esta.......2006-12-26


If you are going to be an executor or someone who has just died has named you to be an executor, then this book is for you. It is not a treatise on the subject, but it summarizes the basics regarding the tasks and responsibility you will be charged with when being an executor. Such tasks and responsibilities include tax, accounting and ministerial functions.

This book is comprised of 12 chapters:

1. Ease into Your Role as Executor
2. Take Charge after Death Certificate is Issued
3. Get Your Letters Testamentary
4. Administer the Estate Independently
5. Inventory and Appraisement
6. Estate Tax Form 706
7. Calculating the Gross Estate
8. Taking All Tax Deductions Allowed
9. The Marital Tax Deduction
10. Recapitulation and Tax
11. Fiduciary Tax Form 1041
12. Settle the Estate; Closing Matters

I particularly liked the following excerpt taken from the book's introduction:

"Too often, the role importance of an executor is misunderstood. The will-appointed person rushes off to an attorney, and dumps everything in the attorney's lap. This is a shirking of duty. It is also a gross error in judgment and a costly mistake."

This book is written so the reader will not shirk her dirty or make a gross error in judgment or a costly mistake. It talks about reading a will, doing what one must do to be granted Letters Testamentary, gather together the estate's assets, fill out the proper tax returns, make distributions to creditors and beneficiaries, and close the estate. The theory of the various tax returns are discussed here like I have seen in no other book covering the subject. Splendid job.

I would have liked the book better if there was a terms index in the back of the book. And I think the book would have been better if there had been an introductory chapter that overviewed the whole book and its subject matter.

In Chapter 2 there was a reference made to visit your public library to examine a copy of your state's Probate Code. I'm not sure this is practical advise in all states.

I particularly liked the summaries at the beginning of each chapter. And I liked the page numbering so it was easy to flip from chapter to chapter, ie. 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, etc.

With this book you should be armed to visit your county law library and be able to get whatever other information you see necessary to handle your duty as executor. This book cannot cover everything - so don't expect it to do so. But it is a worthwhile book to read. 5 stars!

Very well done book which helped me with my problems with the Irs. The forms that IRS sends when you want to offer a compromise were baffling (just like any government form). The Tax Debt book helps to get through the paper work, and the real life examples in the book are great. You still have to do the footwork, but the IRS will cut your tax bill if you know what you're doing. It wasn't easy to deal with IRS on your own, but it's impossible without a book like this. Knowledge means money when you're fighting the IRS!

    Book Description

    Generation Debt offers a truly gripping account of how young Americans are being ground down by low wages, high taxes, huge student loans, sky-high housing prices, not to mention the impending retirement of their baby boomer parents. Twenty-four-year-old Anya Kamenetz examines this issue from every angle and provides a riveting, rousing manifesto that will inspire everyone to take care of their financial future.

    Customer Reviews:

    1 out of 5 stars Trivial and full of banals.......2007-09-27

    The book is partly obvious and mostly poorly researched. Nota bene, what really interesting and insightful about the financial side of life can someone write just two years after graduating from college? What's more, Miss Kamenetz writing style is stiff, repetitive and the final procuct boring. So, save yourself $14 and few hours of time possibly wasted on reading this opus.

    1 out of 5 stars An Unfortunately Terrible Book.......2007-09-16

    The arguments set forth in this book are often poorly reasoned, the research is inadequate, the people interviewed by the author are far too similar ... but worst of all, the book is horribly unbalanced in terms of the (liberal) political bias of the author. And speaking of the author, readers will rarely have encountered such a self-absorbed promoter of ideas she clearly has not taken the time fully to understand. I don't know how many times she interjects that she went to Yale. Who cares? She suffers the delusion that affects many (young/second-rate) journalists, which is that anybody cares about the personal opinions of journalists. This is a great topic for a book, and Kamenetz accidentally blunders upon a few good points, but it is unfortunate that the subject matter is done such a disservice ... the only redeeming quality is that she quotes a few other authors who actually have something to say.

    5 out of 5 stars Must-read for parents.......2007-08-26

    Anya Kamenetz' book is a must-read for parents. If you set aside the polemical aspects of the book (such as what policies or societal influences are to blame for the pressures the current generation faces, a topic where the author treads lightly) you will find an excellent primer on how to prepare your children for their future.

    Ms. Kamenetz crystallizes the following points:
    College students are responsible for a larger share of their educational costs than ever before
    Federal grants have given way to student loans
    A college degree is no longer a guarantor of higher income
    The workforce is no longer a guarantor of benefits, pensions or long-term security
    If we don't inculcate our children with a value system and personal responsibility, they will fall prey to the temptations of easy credit and debt

    I don't agree with Ms. Kamenetz' solutions, which rely too heavily on redistribution of wealth. I was taught in Economics that whenever you subsidize something, the costs go up. I did enjoy reading the refreshing suggestion of "De-Schooling" in the chapter on "Waking Up and Taking Charge". Our system of higher education has become too costly, probably due to all the subsidies we throw at it, and does not provide skilled, trained workers to face the shifting demands of the workplace. I like the notion of breaking the monopoly on education.

    To ask the question, "who is to blame," for these challenges facing the current generation, is to completely miss the point. The book would be worth twice its price if Ms. Kamenetz asked one of her contemporaries who was commiserating on their excessive credit card debt why they didn't tear up their credit cards, get a second or third job, then save up enough money to get out of debt and pay cash for night school. Our society has many freedoms, but also has many trap for the unwary. If you are savvy and make astute financial decisions, no one may write a book about you, but at least you can sleep at night.

    It is difficult to write a book with the subject "Woe is we" without sounding querulous; however, for the most part, Ms. Kamenetz adroitly avoids the finger-wagging that would otherwise dilute her message - it's time to turn off the TV and the XBox, sit down with your kids, look them in the eye, and have a serious talk on how they can survive and thrive in the brave new world.

    1 out of 5 stars The elite impersonating the oppressed.......2007-08-10

    I am the demographic this book was written for. I am of the generation she is talking about. I come from humble people; I'm the first person in my family to go to college, yet I managed to get a Ph.D. -in physics even (meaning, unlike some of the nincompoops interviewed in this book who got degrees in imaginary subjects, I had to do real work in school). When I got out, I was in debt up to my ears, and I had to take a job which didn't allow me to express my unique genius. Yet, I remain unmoved by, contemptuous even of her screed. Perhaps this is because I studied addition and subtraction in my long and sordid eduction, and fully realized that, if I took out loans, I'd have to pay them back. I also never needed the money to survive: it was all play money. Like Miz Kamenetz and the people she interviews, I spent my loan money on exotic vacations and baubles to make my life more comfortable. You can in fact, survive on very little money in america: even in expensive places like Berkeley or New York City. Yes, credit card companies are evil. Don't do business with them. Yes, higher education has become much more expensive. Make sure you get your money's worth. Take courses that can get you work.

    Miz Kamenetz of course comes from a privileged background. Her parents were professors, well connected in the publishing industry, and she went to Yale (!). On her website, she describes not making her credit card payments for 3 months, while on a trip to Europe. Making a few guesses about her age and the exchange rates in the last few years, I'd say that was a pretty unwise decision, even if it did net her a marriage proposal from a google employee, and an eventual position giving finance advice for Yahoo. It is also symptomatic of a privileged generation, whining, essentially about its good fortune. 30 years ago, only people like Kamenetz would have been able to go to Yale, get credit to buy very nice things they can't afford, and take ill considered trips to europe. I don't know which generation she's talking about which had it better than ours: any such generation I can think of had considerably less access to both college education, credit (which is, frankly, nice to have: beats taking out loans from the local fingerbreaker) and easy living. A book by a Marie Antoinette who is unacquainted with anything remotely resembling financial hardship adds absolutely nothing to the discussion.

    1 out of 5 stars Suitable at best for preteens but doubtful .......2007-07-11

    The only reason why this book might add some value teens is due to the fact that America's school system gives no mandatory education on consumer finance. However, the premise of the book is flawed and very little practical education would be provided to even preteens by reading this book.

    As a resource for adults, it is quite myopic. Many of the reviewers I have read appear to be not only more knowledgable than the author, but they seem to be capable of writing a much more comprehensive book. When you run across this situation (which is rare) you know the book stinks (no offense to the reviewers).

    At only 26, and with no experience or training in finance or investments, the author has shown that she is not capable of delivering relevant content on this subject. In fact, the real Debt Generation would be the baby boomers, as anyone with reasonable knowledge of consumer finance would agree.

    The fact is that much of the debt our nation's youth has today is primarily due to their greed and lack of work ethic. We cannot blame them however. These disturbing trends of a supra-sense of entitlement by this generation is mainly due to the media and pop culture, which values easy money and luxury items at a time when America's standard of living is in decline.

    I find it ironic that the author is now working as a "financial expert" for Yahoo Finance. That not only provides a good indicator of the lack of value of the other "financial experts" working with Yahoo, but it paints what I feel to be an accurate explanation why Yahoo is a company in decline.

    Product Description

    History: Fiction or Science? is the most explosive tractate on history ever written - however, every theory it contains, no matter how unorthodox, is backed by solid scientific data. The book is well-illustrated, contains over 446 graphs and illustrations, copies of ancient manuscripts, and countless facts attesting to the falsity of the chronology used nowadays, which never cease to amaze the reader. Eminent mathematician proves that: Jesus Christ was born in 1153 and crucified in 1186 The Old Testament refers to mediaeval events. Apocalypse was written after 1486. Does this sound uncanny? This version of events is substantiated by hard facts and logic - validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources - to a greater extent than everything you may have read and heard about history before. The dominating historical discourse in its current state was essentially crafted in the XVI century from a rather contradictory jumble of sources such as innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts whose originals had vanished in the Dark Ages and the allegedly irrefutable proof offered by late mediaeval astronomers, resting upon the power of ecclesial authorities. Nearly all of its components are blatantly untrue! For some of us, it shall possibly be quite disturbing to see the magnificent edifice of classical history to turn into an ominous simulacrum brooding over the snake pit of mediaeval politics. Twice so, in fact: the first seeing the legendary millenarian dust on the ancient marble turn into a mere layer of dirt - one that meticulous unprejudiced research can eventually remove. The second, and greater, attack of unease comes with the awareness of just how many areas of human knowledge still trust the three elephants of the consensual chronology to support them. Nothing can remedy that except for an individual chronological revolution happening in the minds of a large enough number of people.

    Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

    5 out of 5 stars Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

    There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

    For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

    It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

    4 out of 5 stars History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

    Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

    I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

    Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

    Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
    Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

    I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

    This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.
