About Fairmark Press

Fairmark Press Inc. publishes plain language books on taxes and investing and is the leading independent publisher of tax news and guidance on the Internet. Our goal is to provide reliable, understandable, unbiased, up-to-date information that will help people with investment decisions and tax planning and compliance. We started this website in 1998 and published our first book in 2000. We operate from Lisle, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.

We chose the name Fairmark to highlight fairness and accuracy as goals for the material we publish.

Our books

Our books for general audiences are written in a direct, informal style that makes them easy for a novice to read, yet they are authoritative enough to be used by a tax professional or investment advisor:

  • Consider Your Options, a book for individuals who receive stock options and other forms of equity compensation.
  • Capital Gains, Minimal Taxes, a book for investors who buy and sell stocks, mutual funds and options.
  • Go Roth!, a book explaining Roth IRAs and Roth accounts in 401k and 403b plans.

We also offer one professional text:

  • Equity Compensation Strategies, a book for professionals who offer advice on how to handle stock options and other forms of equity compensation. This book can be used to earn continuing education credit for the CFP designation.

New editions of these books are published as needed to keep them current with tax laws and other developments. They can be purchased online here and from other booksellers.
