Federal income taxation a law student's guide to the leading cases and concepts

Synopsis

Highly acclaimed as both a supplemental text and a law student self-help aid, Federal Income Taxation focuses on the conceptual aspects of federal income tax to improve student understanding of this complex subject. The tenth edition updates tax rates and related statutory changes and adds a substantial amount of new materials, including brief question-and-answer sections at the end of each chapter that help bring issues into better focus. Designed to help students quickly pull together the entire subject area for end-of-semester review, the textbook provides a sense of perspective about where a topic fits within the federal income tax scheme. While the present income tax is the main object of interest in this book, Federal Income Taxation also includes an explanation of the often-discussed consumption tax concept and contrasts the two in a note at the end of the volume.
