Highly regarded for its authorship, intellectual depth, and insightful synthesis of historical and tax policy perspectives, Basic Federal Income Taxation features:

  • sterling authorship by two of the leading scholars in the field
  • a clear and consistent emphasis on case analysis, supported by a rich case selection and a mix of lightly edited principal cases and shorter case excerpts

Thoroughly updated throughout, the Sixth Edition offers:

  • new co-author Peter J. Wiedenbeck, who brings a fresh perspective and new energy to the Sixth Edition
  • a more streamlined format that readily adapts to typical 3-credit courses
  • tighter editing of selected note cases
