Customer Reviews

A must read for any practitioner dealing in the area

I used this book as a supplement to Prof. Posin's course at Tulane University. He makes comprehension of the material very simple and even fun in places... for sick individuals entertained by the finer points of the Tax laws. All in all a GREAT digest of essential material.

Excellent Introduction to First Year Law

This author explains the fundamental but essential concepts in a clear and concise manner through his text and flow charts. Numerous real-life examples help the first-year law student and/or taxpayer grasp important rationales that will allow practical application in his/her own life and on the exams. I highly recommend this book.

My students have found this book helpful

My students have generally found this book helpful. The diagrams are wonderful and often help people visualize very complex tax transactions. I also think the book does an excellent job of explaining very difficult material. Other reveiws have indicated that there are erros in this book. It does appear that there is a typo in the Clark case, but I have not noticed more than the usual number of typos in this book. In addition, contrary to the statements of other reviewers, I think the discussion of both Glenshaw Glass (I am not sure what is laughable about the book's presentation of the holding in the case) and Harris are on target.My advice is buy the book if you want some added help with Federal Income Tax, but use it as a reference, not as a bible. Also realize that Tax Professors often disagree about tax law, and about the merits of various cases, that is what makes law fun.
