Federal Income Taxation

Federal Income Taxation Synopsis

Joel Newman's casebook has helped law students learn about income taxation since 1998. Dorothy Brown joined him for the sixth edition and now Bridget Crawford joins for the seventh edition. The casebook authors introduce students to many of the materials used by working tax lawyers, including cases, rulings, committee reports, and a congressional colloquy. New materials include increased standard deduction, elimination of personal exemptions, limitations on itemized deductions, expansion of the child tax credit, increase in limitation on charitable contribution deductions, the new Form 1040, and new preferential rates for certain qualified business income. All problems are updated and current.
