Jason and Ari open with a short discussion on how “all real estate is local” by comparing markets in several different time frames, then Jason interviews Barbara Weltman on tax benefits and home-based business. Since the publication of her J.K. Lasser’s Tax Deductions for Small Business in 1995, Barbara Weltman has built a reputation as an experienced and helpful source for small business advice.
A tax and business attorney since 1977, Barbara has the knowledge entrepreneurs need to get ahead and stay ahead. Whether she’s writing books on small business taxes, legal issues for business and business finance topics, speaking to corporate groups, teaching and consulting, guesting on popular radio shows, or publishing her Big Ideas for Small Business® newsletter. Barbara isn’t just in the game—She’s ahead of it.
She graduated from Brooklyn Law School and went to work for J.K. Lasser Tax Institute.
The books kept coming as Barbara drew from experience to show business owners how to sift through the complexities of the tax, legal and financial issues they faced constantly. Her first website was launched in 1996. All this led to opportunities as a speaker, consultant, commentator, and educator in the corporate, small business, and educational sectors.
