Wiley Releases America's Best-Selling Tax Guide, J.K. LASSER'S YOUR INCOME TAX 2014

Hoboken, NJ

The year 2013 will stand to be both consistent and memorable when it comes to tax changes. With the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts this year, taxpayers were able to breathe a sigh of relief, since it prevented taxes from increasing. Meanwhile the Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriages and the IRS announcement that legally married same sex couples will be treated as married for all federal tax purposes, was a major announcement this year. Available now with these updates and much more is the nation's number one bestselling tax guide J.K. Lasser's Your Income Tax 2014: For Preparing your 2013 Tax Return (Wiley, November 2013; $22.95; ISBN: 978-1-118-73423-0). Written by a team of tax specialists it covers some of the most important topics associated with taxes, such as what taxpayers need to report as income, what deductions they can claim, all while providing strategies that will ultimately save taxpayers money. The updated guide includes over 2,500 easy-to-use tax planning tips and coverage of the year's tax law changes as well as:

•New additional Medicare taxes on earned and investment income
•Higher AMT exemption amounts
•Increased floor for itemized medical expenses
•Increased standard deductions and personal exemptions
