Press Release Body: Boston- July 23, 2008: As the year turns to its latter half,
small business owners should be getting their taxes in order. Jessica Reagen
Salzman, a professional bookkeeper for small business, offer tips to make sure those
taxes are as orderly as possible. She also reveals many secret methods that most
solo professionals haven't heard of.

"The government doesn't purposely hide ways for you (small business owners) to cut
taxes. And these secrets aren't classified as tax evasion." Says Salzman. "We've
reached a midway point in 2008 and its important to make sure that deadlines are met
in order to benefit from these tax secrets"

Jessica Reagen Salzman is a professional bookkeeper and certified QuickBooks
ProAdvisor. She is a member of the Institute of Professional Bookkeepers (AIPB) and
the National Society of Accountants (NSA), and a recipient of the E-Myth Embark
E-Learning Scholarship.

She uses less well-known provisions of the government's economic stimulus package to
help small business owners save various amounts of money.
1. "Many may be eligible for a special depreciation bonus this year. Under this
package you can automatically depreciate 50% of the cost of certain business
equipment that was bought this year.
2. Small business owners can even write-off any remaining cost as per the MACRS
(Modified Accelerated Cost Recover System."

Salzman also points to provisions of Section 179 of the IRS code. "Small businesses
that are starting up this year may be allowed to deduct property tax in full". She
says not to be afraid of finding loop-holes and suggest that those with less
experience or knowledge of the tax system read up and educate themselves.

She says that his is one point where reading these kinds of things actually "pays off".
