Federal Income Tax Examples & Explanations
By: Bankman
List Price: $42.95
Amazon Price: $38.65

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
Excellent Resource for Studying Federal Income Tax
We can count on two things: (1) death and (2) taxes. Death and taxes have a lot in common: both are complex, difficult to talk about, a great deal of mystery surrounds them, and people avoid both at all costs.

Taxes impact all of our lives in every way. Married? Tax consequences. Buy a house? Tax consequences. Sell a widget? Tax consequences. Purchase a hamburger? Tax consequences. Taxes are everywhere around us.

The government needs revenue. The overwhelming majority of the IRS's total in-take is from the income tax. Corporations, estates and trusts (and other taxes such as excise taxes) are a much, much smaller portion of the government's annual and total intake. Thus, it is critical to learn and understand Federal Income Tax.

Students:
You will, in my view, "need" a reliable, accurate, and well-organized resource to do well in your Federal Income Tax class. Federal Income Tax: Examples & Explanations is so useful that I am keeping my copy for future reference, and I have used it in "real-life," and might even buy the newer editions as they are released.

Law Students:
Tax policies, history and development of the income tax, how the IRS administers the tax code ... all very interesting and fun to learn. Come exam time, however, it will be all application. The examples in the book will provide you with an opportunity to learn not only the rules but how they are applied.

In closing, if you expect to do well in Federal Income Tax, you will "need" this book to do well in your class. If you know of a better Federal Income Tax supplemental, please let me know. I will definitely check it out. I am highly confident this is the resource you need, and I easily rate it 5+ stars.

Best of luck with your study of taxation!
