Necessary
| Customer Rating: | I wasn't usually an examples and explanations kind of guy in law school. I hardly ever used them, or when I did I thought they weren't too helpful. I just made my own outlines.
But for tax, this thing saved my life. Especially if you're using the Bankhead text that goes with it for your class, but even if you're not, since its geared toward code sections.
Basically it just gives you a code section, and then gives examples of how the code works in practice. It makes all the rules easy. I learned everything I needed to take my tax exam in about 12 hours of studying with this book. |
Excellent
| Customer Rating: | | Great explanations of the material covered and excellent question & answer sections. The explanations to the answers are very helpful. |
Nice supplement...
| Customer Rating: | 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
| Customer Rating: | | 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
| Customer Rating:  | 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. |
