Customer Rating: 

I had to buy this text book for a college taxation class. Initially I thought this book was ok. But, then I tried actually reading it and realized this book wasn't written with too much care in terms of presenting information in a logical sequence or in an understandable way.

I often would have to go to websites to get the kind of understandable explanation that this book should have given. Its written in a really choppy style and often is too vague or general without fully explaning things.

This book needs some serious editing for readability, but then again text book companies don't generally care about making the content easily digestable. Teh just want to make sure the author has a Phd.

This book was great, if you like reading books the seem to have been written by robots.

I would definitely not buy this book unless it is required for a class. If you just want to understand the US tax code and how to file your taxes definitely look elsewhere. IRS publications are way more helpful and also are free.

I purchased a tax book for a tax class and it had everything I needed. The CD was included, the book was in great condition with very minimal damage. The CD did not appear to have been opened at all. Also the shipping time was quick about a week or less. Transaction went through easily and received the expected product in a timely manner.

Was shipped fast! There was a lot more writing in the book than I expected, but still happy with the book!

New college student, again, after graduating once 32 years ago, it was a real pleasure to save money and have the correct product delivered on time. What more could a consumer ask for?

This 2009 Edition includes 2007 TaxCut software. If you expected to file your 2008 taxes with this purchase, you will probably be disappointed - like I am.
