Concise Restatement of Business Tax

Having read NOTHING in business taxation prior to the final, I used this book to cram over the course of four days. Amazingly, I received a B, which was well above the median for the course. A nice feature of this book is the casebook table that shows which parts of the outline cover which pages in each of several leading casebooks. This made my unorganized cramming sessions much more manageable. My casebook reading was covered in 89 pages with this outline. Awesome. If it wasn't for this outline, business tax would have killed my GPA and any chances for high honors. More significantly, I actually learned a lot from those four days and have applied the principles learned at my summer job. Good luck!

This book saved my life

"The yellow book" cruised me through Partnership Tax and Corporate Tax by spoon-feeding me all relevant laws/doctrines in a clear, concise way. This is an amazing book, which was recommended to me by an LLM Tax graduate (now an attorney for the IRS) who told me that everyone in her LLM program used this book. Get the yellow book, trash your other tax textbooks-- it will make you a star.

The Best Corporate and Partnership Tax Summary Available

This is the most outstanding tax summary available in the market. I used it when I was first learning tax and still use it today as a quick reference when looking at an area I haven't seen in a while. The explanations and footnotes are detailed enough for the experienced tax practitioner to use as a starting point or a refresher but sufficiently straightforward for the novice. Well worth the $26.50 - probably the best professional reference book I've purchased in my tax career. My first copy was of the previous edition, I can't wait for the new edition to come in the mail! Highly recommended.
