I thought Taxes would be daunting (it still is) but this E&E was superb. I literally did not buy the textbook (saved 140 bucks) read E&E before classes and was ready while some of my peers were dazed! When I had the misfortune of not preparing for class, I found the examples and explanations perfectly clear and was not far behind the pack. Mind you Taxes is not your typically law school course and requires a substantial amount of simple and mechanical number crunching. This E&E has many such examples. While I'm at it, I have to recommend EXAM PRO Federal Income Tax for Multiple Choice Exams ISBN 978-0-314-18069-8 (absolutely perfect examples and explanations again - 5 Stars).

For the record, I think that the E&E series is lacking overall, except for CivPro, Taxes, and maybe Torts (Glannon is my Professor). I found E&E Contracts and Property sub-par (2 stars).

I bought an earlier edition while I was in law school. This book is very well organized and covers both the conceptual and practical perspectives of taxation extraordinarily well. The questions at the end of each section help to solidify your understanding of the concepts by varying the fact scenarios from question to question.

I've been in tax practice for ten years, and I purchase each updated edition for a review of the conceptual aspects of taxation and for a quick review of the tax treatment of transactions I haven't handled very often in practice.

I struggled all semester long with Tax I. I purchased Examples and Explanations because I'd had good experiences with other topics before. As soon as I started reading the E&E along with my class assignments (or in place of them), it all came together. It offers some concrete explanations and then provides questions with great factual variations. My exam was multiple choice, so the E&E material was perfect preparation. Seriously, how could ~$35 not be a great investment when it returns an A? Buy this book.

Makes learning income tax easy. By using this book in conjunction with my text I was able to prepare for class and have a solid knowledge of even the most difficult concepts. Answering the examples was a great way to test my knowledge of concepts and try myu hand at calculations before the exam. Between this book and Emmanuel's Crunch Time I walked into the exam with confidence and got an A!

I bought this supplement to go with the 15th Edition of the casebook Federal Income Taxation. I worked through the entire book, did all the exercises, and used the chapters to fill in any gaps. Income Tax is a tough class but if you take enough time to go through textbook problems and the E&E it's very possible to beat the curve and get an A.

A pretty good volume in the E&E series.

The introductory chapters are excellent. The book does suffer from a bit from stylistic changes (likely a result of having three authors parenting this child) but a solid volume nonetheless.

If you are clueless about tax, this will help. But be sure to get the latest edition as tax law changes subtlety and frequently.

Helpful. Nice and I received it promptly. I will be using this book all semester. I recommend e&e for getting a better understanding.

When I get this book, I find that this book is not that hard to read. It gives us a lot of examples to understand the concept.Also, you can get the book very fast. The book is very specific and helpful. You should buy this book whether you are in acct major!!

And the most important thing is that, this book is affordable for many people. It does not have that high price but have high quality! don't be hesitage just buy it!

I ordered it more than one month ago, but I still not receive it, would you please explain to me, why?
