For mainstream introductory courses in individual federal income tax concepts and applications at the undergraduate or MBA level. This series goes beyond simply being a definitive guide by being the only book in tax that provides a built-in study guide (throughout the margins) to break down concepts and assist students in learning tax concepts.
Like many textbooks, this book is written by experts, and is only truly understood by other experts. Sadly it is intended to be read by beginners. Much of it, unless you already know the material, is incomprehensible.
