The Taxbook Vs Quickfinder– Clash of the Titans!

Published: Nov 22nd, 2008 | Author: ardhi Add Comment

Okay, it’s the clash of the titans! What is going on between these two? A lot of bad blood, it looks like! I used to order the Quickfinder every single year, but now I might try The TaxBook Deluxe Edition. But I have a question… what’s behind the soap opera drama between these two competitors?

A lot of the quotes on the TaxBook website tell the same story…

TheTaxBook is more clearly written than Quickfinder®. Also, the index is very well written and is easier to use than Quickfinder®.”

Not so nice, right? Well, I have been reading some of the Internet conjecture out there. It looks like most of the original writers of the Quickfinder left after some drama– one poster said this:

QF lost most of it’s writers a few years ago when they kept splitting QF into more and more separate books rather than the more useful single tome it once was so many eons ago. These writers banded together and created a single volume once again, The TaxBook. No more fiddling about between blobs of books. TaxAlmanac: Discussion:1040 QUICKFINDER HANDBOOK
