Customer Reviews:
Excellent.......2007-01-18
Great explanations of the material covered and excellent question & answer sections. The explanations to the answers are very helpful.
Nice supplement..........2006-06-01
I am taking a federal income tax course that uses a textbook which consists mainly of court cases.. and written in hard-to-understand "judicial language". We discuss the cases and go over the problem-solving questions at such a fast pace that sometimes I just blindly jot down notes and try to make sense of them afterwards.
This is where the supplementary comes in. The glossary neatly lists the various topics. There are introductions to the important code sections, followed by sample questions and detailed explanations. It helped me understand the more difficult concepts (which wasn't difficult at all) such as 1245/1250 recapture, disaster gain/loss, depreciation, and other calculations. While it does not include most of the court cases from my main textbook, some of the major cases are briefly discussed throughout.
This book is no substitute for class attendance, but it did make studying run smoothly during exam week.
A must for a policy-heavy law school tax class.......2005-12-31
Clear and concise, helpful explanations. Great for a general tax course. If you are using the ..., Bankman, et al textbook, this is is MUST. If you are studying business tax (unless home/small business), this is not the book for you. Griffith rocks!!!
Tax.......2005-10-24
This book is helpful in regards to giving you a general overview of the material. However, I purchased this book to better understand annuities, discharge of indebtedness and section 1031 of the tax code. These were the topics that the authors did a horrible job of explaining. Unfortunately, these topics are very important. I have only read up to the start of chapter 3 in this book and I am worried that further reading will only further confuse me.
I must say, this book is better than nothing, but I wish it was better.
Excellent book!.......2003-11-20
Hello, I am a second year law student enrolled in a class on taxation. Professor Griffith is my instructor, and I have to say that this book is so clearly written that I did not once have to open up my $90 casebook. Examples and Explanations gives clear and concise real world examples that allow anyone (even people without a tax or business background) to understand both the black letter law and the public policy reasons for our tax code. EXCELLENT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

State Constitution.......2007-07-31
After you read this book, get a copy of your state's Constitution so that you can start the other vital process and empower yourself - remember, the dismantling of this corrupt regime begins in your town, your city, your state. All of your real power is given to you in your state's Constitution. Holding officials accountable - that's the process we've got to start. Downsizing government - from local/state, and then federal.
Also, google Ron Paul.
Great for entertainment value..........2006-08-04
...but that's all it is. The book makes a lot of amusing arguments as to why you don't need to pay tax and you may find it funny if you are a tax attorney (as I am), accountant, enrolled agent or any other kind of tax practitioner. Considering Mr. Schiff is in prison for tax evasion now, I'd consider this book to be completely bogus. A good laugh, yes; good advice, definitely not.
To be read with a grain of salt.......2005-10-12
While I agree that Schiff makes some interesting points in his claims such as paying the income tax is voluntary, that 'income' does not include wages, that it is okay to file a zero 1040 return, etc., following such advice will be fine until the IRS comes knocking at your door.
And eventually the IRS will find out. The IRS (legally or not) has nearly unlimited power in this country to levy wages, seize property, or send you to prison no matter how right you believe your interpretation of the law is. Schiff has been to jail, Schiff is in court right now and may lose everything and face life in prison. As convincing as the material is in Mr. Schiff's book, his claims have not been held up in the US court of law.
Schiff claims our courts & government are corrupt. As corrupt as they may be, the courts are where right/wrong are decided in the US and they can fine or imprison you no matter how sincere or true your views on taxation are. Being correct in your view of the law does not necessarily win you lawsuits or hold you blameless in the eye of the court, as Schiff and others have learned. I am not saying the IRS or government is fair or I agree with them, but they make the rules and who says life is fair?
The only solution to me would be to simply leave the country if you do not like the IRS or our government. Many people have defended the points Schiff has before and have lost in court. Why Schiff insists on staying in the US and defending these points again and again despite his views on the corruption of the legal system and being imprisoned before is beyond me. Anyone who has read this book or any of Schiff's materials is strongly urged to do a web search for the words TAX PROTESTOR FAQ for more information on these issues before they make any commitment to follow his advice.
The Truth Can be Costly.......2005-08-24
Irwin Schiff is correct and amazon is brave for still having a link to this book still up. This book is banned material in all forums and this includes amazons selling of it. read the court order banning the book at www.paynoincometax.com . Schiff is under is prosecution (persecution is more like it) by the Feds because they of course want to keep us all slaves. And we are slaves no matter how you want to justify it. (paying a "fair share" is a socialist term) Serfs in feudal England were considered slaves and they got to take home more than we do now. The Federal Government operates outside the Law and the courts are clearly simply ignoring the facts. Go to his site and read the motions and decisions rendered so far and see for your self how the court behaves. There is of course one reviewer here who is clearly a Federal Agent. Do note that according to the Patriot Act, once you purchase this book, the government will know about it and you will be on thier hit list. So if you can get it through other means.
This book has been banned by our beloved government.......2005-06-28
This book has been officially banned by the U.S. government! In doing so it has shredded the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment; "Congress shall make no law..."
What is in this book that scares the government so much that it does not want American citizens to read it? By what "right" does the government have in determining what we can and cannot read? The First Amendment is clear. I thought book banning was something that occured in Nazi Germany and Communist Russia. Perhaps Amazon.com will now have to sell copies printed in Mexico, Cuba or China and smuggled to the "Free" U.S.A.
The banning of this book should only encourage all Americans to get a copy and read it.
Book Description
Softbound book with 414 pages of income tax law, cases, and principles. The book walks you through income, deductions, attribution tax accounting, and recognition of gains and losses. This study guide mirrors casebooks generally in use.
Customer Reviews:
Taking Income Tax? Buy this book!.......2004-12-07
I strongly, strongly recommend this book for any law student taking an income tax course who has no experience in accounting. I read this book in the beginning of the class- it's relatively short and incredibly readable- and it made the actual class a breeze. Like most law school subjects, it's easy to lose the forest for the trees, and starting off with this book will let you understand how things fit together before you start slogging through- and get lost in- the Code.
As a corollary to that, this book is basically useless as an exam prep; it's too much of a general survey of the topic, and if you're using this to prep for your final you are in deep trouble. However, if you just signed up for tax in the winter term, buy this book and read it over break- it'll take you a day or two, and you'll be glad you did.
Much more engaging than you'd expect from a tax guru.......2002-09-03
If you get a kick out of the legal writers who make no attempt to hide their arrogance (Scalia comes to mind), then you will enjoy reading Professor Marv. You get the feeling that he often wonders to himself what it's like to be stupid.
Even if you don't take to his "burdened genius" persona, it won't prevent you from seeing new ways of looking at concepts in addition what your casebook provides. He wrote this as a "universal supplement," and has taken care to avoid a retread of any of the major texts.
Unlike previous editions, according to the author, this one has a Q & A section at the end of every chapter. They're useful exercises, especially since they have answers and explanations, unlike most casebooks.
As advertised.......2001-01-28
This book comes as advertised. It's a clear, succinct, helpful, and occasionally witty introduction to the law of federal income taxation. Chirelstein has a rare talent for making the sometime inscrutable rules of tax law accessible to even the most tax-phobic law student. Particularly useful are his examples (even his charts and numbers are easy and helpful!) and "Loose ends," in which he ties up a particular chapter or subchapter with some point of clarification that makes so much sense you're just sure your professor is going to have something about it on the exam. Which also bears a point of warning: law professors read it too! Beware of using it as your principal text, as, thorough as it is, the book does not cover all the cases and doctrines of tax law. I know firsthand that clever professors can and do write Chirelstein-proof exams.
A useful introduction.......2000-04-19
This book is a useful introduction to some of the principal concepts of the U.S. tax law. I recommend it to law students, young tax lawyers and other professionals that need to develop a good foundation of basic tax law concepts. The framework this title will help you develop will be of great assistance in learning how to think about tax issues and understanding more specialized areas of the law.

Also included are exam questions with model answers, an alpha-list of cases, and a cross reference table of cases for all of the leading casebooks.
Customer Reviews:
Tax is just hard.......2007-01-03
The outline was very helpful--tax is just a difficult subject to master. I used the book as a supplement to my text book. You certainly cannot use only the outline and expect to learn federal income tax well. It is an invaluable resource when used to help reinforce a concept. Also, when I did not understand a concept the outline was great because it generally used easier terms and examples to explain the bare bones of a subject. Once I understood the outline's explanation, it was much easier to understand my text book.
good outline.......2006-08-16
This is just about as good as the other emanuel outlines, but income tax is a diificult subject to outline.
This book is bad........2006-07-30
I usually like the Emanuel outlines and have found them invaluable now for eight other courses I've taken. The Taxation outline is an exception. I forced myself through the first five chapters in this book and then gave up on it, realizing that it was not adding to my general understanding of the course material or any of the little details either, for that matter. It was too hard to read and follow to be of help.
mediocre .......2006-07-24
It's a mediocre tax law outline--simply put. Buy it used, if at all.
The worst commercial outline for beginners.......2006-06-19
This commercial outline is terrible as an introduction to federal income tax. It takes FOREVER to find basic definitions, such as the distinction between ordinary income and capital assets. Without an understanding of these definitions, you won't understand anything in the book, yet the author fails to make the definitions clear.
For example, I first went to the capsule summary to find the definition of "capital asset" and then found that I had to turn to another section of the book. When I turned to that page, I found that I had to turn a couple more pages to find only PART of the definition of "capital asset" and then I had to turn to yet another section of the book, no pages provided by the author this time, to get the rest of the definition.
To make a long story short, the organization of this book makes no sense at all. If you already understand federal income tax, this commercial outline might be useful as a review. Otherwise, if you're taking tax only because you feel obligated by the requirements of your bar exam, then perhaps another commerical outline is better.
Product Description
CrunchTime provides a comprehensive topic breakdown and critical information review all in one tool! The application flow charts can be used all semester long, but the capsule summaries are ideal for exam preparation. Each title offers capsule summaries of major points of law and critical issues, exam tips for identifying common traps and pitfalls, sample exam and essay questions with model answers, and recommended approaches for crafting essays that will get winning grades!
Product Description
Taxpayers die, but liability for their unpaid taxes remains. Someone must compute tax liability for the deceased taxpayer, file the decedent's final income tax return, and pay the taxes (or claim refunds) due. At the death of the decedent, a separate taxable entity--the decedent's estate--is created. The estate is liable for the tax on the income received during the period of its administration. In addition, trusts created by the decedent's will are taxed as separate entities. CCH's Federal Income Taxes of Decedents, Estates and Trusts (22nd Edition) provides concise, plain-English coverage of these issues and more. It presents the fundamental rules for preparing a decedent's final income tax return and highlights the income tax rules for the decedent's estate and related trusts. Also covered are the special rules regarding the taxation of grantor trusts and bankruptcy estates. Fiduciary duties, including liability for filing a return and paying any taxes due on behalf of the estate or trust, are also thoroughly discussed. Examples illustrating these rules are provided throughout. Among the subjects covered in this quick answer reference are:
- Decedent's last return
- Death of a partnership member
- Decedent's stock holdings
- Income tax return of estate or trust
- Grantor trusts
- Beneficiary's tax liability
- Bankruptcy estates
- Fiduciary duties and liabilities Latest changes to the Internal Revenue Code, as well as new regulations, rulings and cases, are reflected throughout the text through date of publication.
Customer Reviews:
All I Needed to Know about Death and Taxes.......2007-03-02
I make some spare change preparing taxes but found myself perplexed with the IRS codes when asked to prepare the final return and then estate returns for a client whose father had passed away. The IRS publication on the subject was quite vague and sent me searching for a reference book that was neither a simplistic discussion aimed at helping the elderly understand their estate lawyer or an 800-page accounting tome for passing the CPA. This book is not a step by step manual but is well written and easy to understand for someone fairly well acquainted with tax preparation.
Simple Answers for Complex Questions.......2006-09-14
This book, published by CCH, was used as a textbook for a college tax course. This book covers Federal Income Taxes of trusts, estates, etc. and does not provide any information on Federal Estate and gift taxes. Anyone studying financial planning, taxation, accounting, and any other related field should take a course covering trusts and estates, or should buy this book to obtain a thorough yet understandable overview of the income taxes on trusts and estates. There are only two things certain in life: death and taxes.
