This might be a bit technical if you are not a tax or accounting type, but for the tax professional, this is just about the most concise and comprehensive summary you can get in a book this size. I buy it every year and use it to prepare returns for my family and friends. It is well anointed with references to Code & Regulations sections if you need more detail, which is rare for the returns that I do.
When you see the price of this book you wonder if it is really worth it. This book is absolutely worth it. If you do tax interviews it is the quickest way to look up anything. It is also the most thorough resource book available anywhere. It has everything: individual, trust, estate, businesses, you name it. Do not expense repairs for a rental property until you see their coverage of the new irs capitalization rules. One more bonus: it is the front end, like an index, for the huge cch research library they offer. It is a must have every year. They also make a california state tax version which is equally awesome.
I buy it each year. One of the top tax guides available but is probably more aimed at professionals than laymen. I was disappointed that so many items were still marked DRAFT this year without CCH reissuing a newer version of 2015 (for 2014).
I thought 2015 referred to 2015 taxes. It actually refers to 2014 taxes filed in the first quarter of 2015. I can use the book for most of what I need. I'm very disappointed that the information about this book didn't make the distinction.
As a CPA, I buy and utilize this book every year. It's the best quick reference, in book form, a CPA can have for tax season.
Yes, I have purchased one for the last 20 yrs and its very helpful for a quick research and finding a fast yes/no/maybe. Since it contains the IRS Code sections its very easy to go to the correct pace fast.
I ordered this book for a taxation course I am taking. This book has saved my life. The tax code is very difficult to follow and navigate through this book does an excellent job in condensing it.
I have used Master Tax Guide for over 50 years and have always found it to be a wonderful tool, easy to use and very complete.Robert F. McCabe, Jr.
