Customer Reviews

Tax Cut software is for 2007
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.

Good Tax Book
I've only been through one chapter, but so far I am pleased with this book. It gives tons of examples throughout each chapter since tax accounting involves many unique situations to which you apply a set of laws (albeit constantly evolving laws). It's a great book for a Tax I course, the writing is easy to understand, and the problems at the end of each chapter really help you apply the important things.

Oh yeah, and it also shipped fast too!

Excellent Taxation Manual
The Comprehensive 2009 Federal Taxation instruction book provides detailed information in easy-to-read wording with examples to explain every law and code. At the end of each chapter there are more dicussion questions and problems. I definitely recommend this book to anyone with a basic accounting background who wishes to learn the finer points of tax law.
