Murphy/Higgins's CONCEPTS IN FEDERAL TAXATION 2010 offers students a better way to learn tax Â- through a conceptual approach. This approach presents taxation as a small number of unifying concepts.

The text introduces students to individual taxation and covers business entities at the end. Concept Checks throughout this edition present material in comprehensible segments, ideal for CPA Exam review. Examples, appearing frequently throughout the text, relate concepts to familiar business scenarios using an engaging discussion and answer format.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A bit complicated,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Concepts in Federal Taxation 2010, Professional Version (Book Only) (Hardcover)
The organization of the book (into chapters/sections, etc.) is good, however the book tries to cover so many random tax topics that it can be hard to know what the right answer is all the time. With the tax law in the US being as confusing, convoluted, and complicated as it is, the book seems to simply follow along by printing some clearly conflicting information in different chapters related to deductions, exclusions, etc. It's an alright book, but probably not the best for someone who is looking to learn the basics.

This review is from: Concepts in Federal Taxation 2010, Professional Version (with TaxCut Tax Preparation Software CD-ROM and RIA Printed Access Card) (Hardcover)
The book was in the exact shape as described. No problem there. Shipping arrived on schedule. No problem there. However - the book was described "with disc". Problem! No disc. No software with which to 'practice'. Not a major concern but still . . .

Textbook in need of Review,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Concepts in Federal Taxation 2010, Professional Version (with TaxCut Tax Preparation Software CD-ROM and RIA Printed Access Card) (Hardcover)
The textbook itself is useful/helpful in the info it presented. However, the software that the teacher uses, that comes with the textbook, is full of errors, i.e. poor grammar and use of language. It is hard to understand the exam questions. Many of them had mistakes that made no sense. For example, a problem presented a situation involving a grandparents' gift to a child, then the question asks about the uncle's tax treatment of the gift when there was no mention of an uncle giving a gift in the first place. The "correct" answer to this problem implies that their "uncle" was suppose to be "grandparents". The people who wrote the accompanying software need to learn how to write a proper sentence in English. This was a nightmare!! But I am not complaining as much as before because regardless of this wacky package, so far I have a grade of A in the course.
