Preamble
First, this book assumes you are a US-based writer and self-publisher of ebooks or Print-On-Demand print books on one or more of the various publishing formats. This book should also not be construed as tax advice, while it points you in the right direction, any questions you may have should be handled by your tax advisor. Also, while this book will have images of various schedules and forms, you should not copy these forms and fill them out for sending to the IRS. If you need forms, please find them on the IRS website (www.irs.gov).
Further, this book assumes that writing and publishing is something you do in your spare time, that you have a job that pays the bills and that while you hope that one day your writing will pay the bills. Now, this is not to say there is nothing of use in here for people who already pay the bills with their writing.
