Developed specifically for print and electronic news reporters, photographers, freelance writers, professional bloggers and others who write for a living, the guide is a plain-language resource that provides quick, easy-to-find information for completing tax returns. It also includes up-to-date guidance for the tax year.

Published by Commerce Clearing House, the 2014 edition of the guide has been updated to address changes in tax laws and regulations, including those that specifically affect journalists and home office-based professionals who write for a living.

Topics covered in the guide include; business expenses; foreign correspondents and others living abroad; income from awards, scholarships and grants; sales of copyrighted materials; libel insurance; professional dues; and home office deductions.
