Editorial Reviews

This is a well-organized and very useful textbook. I've used it for teaching current tax professionals when at GGU and now [I use it for] graduate students who most[ly] are just entering their accounting/tax careers. The text provides the strong foundation from which to expand the class from.

Great textbook.
