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!
Super useful. I was a political science major in undergrad so this law class seemed daunting. The examples are great and helped me understand what would have been a very tough topic. I strongly recommend this to anyone taking FIT.
This E&E was great, it was a huge help for a class that is generally very dry and mostly code based. It does a great job putting IRC into plain language. I used it to supplement the Bankman casebook- but I rarely touched the casebook.
I love the Examples and Explanations books. This is my first one in E-book format and it was easier to read that I expected it to be. I'll buy other E&Es in E-book format just to avoid lugging around more weight.
Great product and helpful for any student taking federal income tax. Offers examples and answers which are incredibly helpful when studying for finals, especially for professors who do not provide samples of their own. Really helps you understand the material.
