5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Text,
By Laura (Hollywood, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Concepts in Federal Taxation 2008 Edition (Hardcover)
I purchased this book for my tax class. Amazon offered it NEW for the same price the bookstore offered it USED. I decided it was a pretty good deal. I didn't purchase the book for personal pleasure, but I found that it is actually a pretty interesting read. It is not thick to understand, but each concept is supplemented with an example (or multiple examples) which makes the material a LOT easier and thorough. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn the tax system and make the most out of their tax return. I know I will be referencing it in the future.

This review is from: Concepts in Federal Taxation 2008 Edition (Hardcover)
This book helped me pass the REG section of the CPA Exam. I did not do well in taxation back in college, but this book helped me understand the reason why a certain tax code exists. This book explains concepts very well and rightfully justifies its title.

This review is from: Concepts in Federal Taxation 2008 Edition (Hardcover)
Yesterday 6/15/09, I went toward University and take the book for consulting over deductions and IRA , saw amazed that chapter 14,15 was incomplete.
This product have one defect in your pages, the book have not pages since 647 to 678, therefore, I believe that these products should be revised for you and what's more have good image over your institution. Thank you. One Customer
