I just received the local tax forms in the mail -- something that always gives me an unwelcome wake-up call -- an uncomfortable reminder that there's extra work to be done. And math's involved!

I'm a little ahead of the game this year, if only because I got TaxCut for Xmas (only slightly more fun than wool socks) and my copy of the brand new AIS Tax & Financial Guide for College Teachers arrived in the mail. The latter is a highly recommended book that covers the entire tax law and it has lots of case studies for what is and isn't deductable (especially good on research, grants, and home office information).

Other books and information on teachers and taxes that are worth browsing (see last year's entry for more):

• 2005 Teacher's Pocket Tax Guide
  
• Teacher's Tax Service
  
• NEA page on the Teacher's Tax Breaks
  
• Jackson Hewitt's overview on teachers' tax returns
