Taxation Law Books

This might be a good book if you're Trustee of a multi-million dollar estate, with multiple stocks, million-dollar properties, and yachts. It was not useful for my situation, which I couldn't determine from the description and reviews. If the estate is that complicated and that much money is involved, I'd get an attorney. It would be worth it.

This book was the best informative periodical I could find on the subject of dealing with Trusts. It saved me a lot of grief when issues arose and I needed to address the probate court. This is a terrific guide

re If you are a Bencifiary, Executor of a trust, and a Trustee, or, any combination thereof.

THIS BOOK WILL SAVE YOU ALOT OF FRUSTRATION, time, and money with attorneys. Because this book, tells you what they "Attorney's" ( and in this case I mean 'ALL' Attorney's) won't tell you. It also gives good references to follow up resources.

Get a current "Compact Edition of Trust Law" for your state Probate, at the same time you get this book. It will be the best way to know your states probate proceedings specifics.

If you are hesitant to spend money for this book, just do a Search Inside, and go to Chapter 3, Page 2-4, Be Aware of Covetous Attorneys. <--- Read this twice. YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS.

You need to know why attorney's are creating a situation to support coaxing you to believe, you need a Trust Officer, Co-Trustee.

This book will tell you, that attorneys' know the statue allows them to receive payment of 2% of the trust/estate every year when it is over 1 million dollars.

This book will tell you, having an outside trust accountant is not infallible. And YOU, as Trustee, are still held accountable, if your co-trustee, or trust official handling the court accounting, or finances, invesments, or yearly accounting makes errors, or absconds with funds.

Often, attorney's will look for the smallest reason to talk trustees in to hiring a professional co-trustee/trust official, and to bring this suggestion before guardianship court to fill their bank accounts, yet they will tell you this is the only way to satisfy your disgruntled relatives. All the while
they are attached to all the management of the trust gonig forward.

Because of disgruntled relatives, you will really need to contact your state bar association and Read the Compact Edition of Trust Law, like you breathe air .... daily.

FINALLY if you are a visual person, you will want to check out the contents and several pages of your interests of the following booK, as it is equally a TEN STAR BOOK ----> The Trustee's Guide An Essential Handbook for Trustees, Beneficiaries, and Advisors (Paperback) by Howard I. Gross (Author)

You need to remember the Attorney is not the boss of your relatives Trust.

If you are the Trustee, you need to let acquisitive attorney's know you are not willing to expense the estate friviously and understand, you and you alone are accountable, without throughly exploring the disadvantages before giving a written approval.

This book gives you the know how in calling out bully trust officer activities. Buying this book will help you leave your ignorance at the doorstep.

This is oriented to trusts in general, while I needed information on special needs trusts (SNT). A separate section detailing differences between SNTs and other trusts would have been useful. For those things that are common between SNT and other types of trusts, this provided good coverage.

This is an excellent text. I have used it for an online class where I rarely had to call the teacher for clarification. I also used it during the tax preparation season while assisting taxpayers and it was a great reference. I also find it very handy and very informative. The tips given in the tax break boxes and the columns regarding "Would You Believe?" are very interesting and are good learning points. The examples coupled with the self-study problems really cement the practical application aspect of the text. I have even written some poems about taxes while reading the text!

Books to read for relaxation: Trilogy Moments for the Mind, Body and Soul; Everyday Miracles, and The Language of Poetry Forms

This book is well worth the cost. You can save much more in taxes than you pay for the book if used properly.

Quick shipping and the book was in great condition. I would recommend buying from them again.

Have experienced great product service from Amazon, however any deliver via DHL has been absolutely horrendous. I couldn't seem to locate any accurate tracking of when my package would arrive. I would definitely not order anything via Amazaon that would be delivered via DHL.

Have used this text for a number of years and enjoyed it. It introduces the student to the 1040 and all the basic schedules. The book contains copies of the 1040 and schedules plus worksheets. A practical approach to individual income taxes.

Leave it to the Uber's and Franks of the world to find meaning in this 900-page behemoth that makes the IRS tax code look like a first attempt at a Haiku by a retarded child who has the emotive skills of Dustin Hoffman in "Rain Man" while dressed like Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie."
I for one, look to areas other than Real Estate Finance for my vision. But I have read this work, and have endeavored to provide an objective review, so alas I will push on....

Madison's book reminds me of a poem I can't remember, in a song that might never have existed, that I heard in a place I'm not sure I've ever been. However, it is clear that within the realm of finance and art lies the essence of "The Transaction." Madison, in an allegorical throwback to, what I presume is "Aesop's fables," conjures images in the traditional law and economics school that sharply contrasts with the results of his views. But otherwise, it gets its point across, and, heck, even geniuses pay through the nose for unmarketable title every once in while, right? Am I right?

Now I'm not saying that Madison is a "bad man," I assume reasonable people can disagree on the meaning of that term. I am only saying that rather than looking at his glasses with a quizzical expression, he would do well to don them and look out onto his creations.

Truly a fascinating piece of work. It appears Mr. Madison is constrained only by the jealousies of others and the limited vision of his peers. This book changed my life. It will change yours too.

Extremely good coverage of real estate transactions, from simple to very complex. Excellent analysis of tax aspects and tax shelters.

To those who know him, Mike Madison presents the proverbial mystery wrapped within an enigma: fiercly guarded, yet strangely open with regard to his dangerous ideas on antiquated doctrines such as the Rule in Shelley's case.

But it is this sense of "danger" that pervades Madison's entire work. The sense of the fear that his ideas could engender in some people. It is almost as if Madison is thumbing his nose at the powers that be; daring them to challenge him head-on to a Socratic battle between the legal giants of upstate New York, in an epic battle that will leave only one opinion affirmed, whilst the other will taste the bitter order of defeat, with no reargument available.

Madison discusses, in depth, his view on how one should approach a late-season transaction. "Visualize a blank sheet of paper," he preaches, "and draw three perfectly vertical lines equidistant along the page." It is within this triumverate of linearization that the battle takes place; the opposing ideas on the periphery, and the result in the center.

It is the simple elegance of such a system that validates Madison's research; after all, two hunters will catch a fox more quickly by flanking the beast from opposite positions. Who will ultimately acquire possession is the crux of the debate. (See Pierson v. Post). However, Madison teaches that both would be better off by dividing the beast in two, and feasting upon the bloody entrails in a celebration of brotherness, in the great wisdom of Solomon.

In short, Madison has only benefitted mankind with his latest work, and we would all do well to thank him for it.

Madison goes on and on about silly grown men scampering after noxious beasts. Who has legal possesion? Who cares? After the first chapter I started daydreaming about the month I spent in Turkey held captive by a syphillitic transvestite ENT doctor.

This book is a collection of essays which argue that antitrust laws are subjective and immoral. Most of the contributing authors are Objectivists, so expect all of the moral arguments to be based on the philosophy of Ayn Rand.

This book contains seven essays:

Dominick Armentano's essay refutes several common economic fallacies, several of which are often cited as the impetus for antitrust laws.

John Ridpath's deeply researched essay discusses the Chicago Economist Frank Knight, whose theories of monopoly and perfect competition serve as the intellectual origins of antitrust law.

Richard Salsman's essay discusses the philosophically corrupt view of profit that is often assumed in the economic models that support antitrust regulations. Specifically, how such models often assume that profit indicates market inefficiency and how under "ideal" market conditions, no firm would profit.

Eric Daniels' essay delineates the history of American attitudes towards monopolies. Specifically, how Americans used to view monopolies entirely as government created phenomena until the age of trust-busting, when this view essentially became inverted.

Thomas Bowden's essay argues how antitrust laws are, in essence, a ban on a certain class of private transaction between two or more mutually consenting parties.

Harry Binswanger's essay discusses the crucial difference between economic force and political force, and how the significant error of equating the two leads to unjust laws such as antitrust.

Gary Hull's essay summarizes how antitrust laws are immoral, how there was never a "golden age" when antitrust laws were needed and how all of them should be abolished.

I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a more sophisticated understanding on the moral necessity of abolishing antitrust laws. This book is also much more accessible than Dominick Armentano's Antitrust and Monopoly. Although Armentano's book contains a well researched compilation of facts on numerous antitrust cases, it is a very dry read and is probably more appropriate as a reference than as a book that one actually reads from cover to cover.

Just as a person cannot engage in immoral acts indefinitely without damaging his life, a government cannot continuously engage in immoral acts for over 100 years without becoming increasingly corrupt. If you want to understand why the men and women who run your government more resemble carnival hustlers than statesmen, read this book. In it Gary Hull and 6 other intellectuals ranging from economists to historians to philosophers examine and describe how the United States government starting in the 1880's changed from the protector of the individual rights of its citizens, it's only legitimate function, to the destroyer of those rights. For anyone interested in rational understanding Dr. Hull et al provide rock solid arguments for how and why Anti-Trust legislation came into being, why it was wrong to begin with, why it is so destructive and most importantly why it is so unjust.

Where to start? If you're a "true believer" in Ayn Rand, this is the book for you. The thing than Randists seem not to grasp is that, big business is just like big government or big religion. ANY large organization exists for itself. There is no intrinsic virtue in capitalism, just as there is no intrinsic virtue in government. Mr. Hull seems not to have ever heard of the Robber Barons of the 19th Century or some of the more recent episodes such as Archer Daniels Midland or WorldCom.
The point is *not* that capitalism is evil, but that it’s not good either. It (like government or religion) can be either, or both, depending of where the observer stands in relation to the event. y all means, check this book out of the library, but also look at history, even recent history. Unrestrained, business is perfectly happy to use child slave labor or to dump tons of toxins in people back yards. *Not* because business/capitalism is evil, but because is simply doesn’t care. A corporation has no morality, any more than a government bureaucracy has any morality. Both simply follow policy, whatever that policy is.

The book consists of a series of essays covering the economic, historical, legal, and philosophical cases for the elimination of antitrust law. Particularly noteworthy, in my opinion, was the chapter by Richard M. Salsman entitled "The False Profits of Antitrust" in which he traces the attitude of economics and economists to profits, capitalists, and entrepreneurs over the last few centuries. According to Salsman the attitude is largely negative and profits (and thus capitalists) are expected ideally not to be there. This obscene view appears to still be the norm today. Editor Gary Hull's essay is also important in that it shows in the clearest terms that Antitrust laws punish successful businesses for their virtues (increased productivity and innovation) and are therefore profoundly unjust.

Also helpful were Eric Daniel's historical tracing of the concept of monopoly in England and America, Thomas Bowden's detailed and informative discussion of contract law and its relation to antitrust law. Harry Binswanger reviews issues familiar to Objectivists in terms of the "economic vs political power" -- only the second can constitute a violation of rights.

If you want to read the best case for the abolition of antitrust look no further.

Each essay in this book is very well structured and very enlightening; going into depth on issues that the best books on general economics that I've read only touch the surface of.

Tearing apart the flawed philosophical foundation of many of the prevailing erroneous economic theories that plague us today; this book exposes a great deal of falsehoods widely accepted as fact. Such as the myth of the "robber barons".


I strongly recommend it to anyone with an interest in economics, history, politics and/or philosophy.

In Turtlehut's review he/she said social security answer ID277 indicated that certain income was not counted in determining if there was to be an income tax on benefits. That is not correct. That information relates to the earnings limit test,or how much income is counted on which a worker pays fico taxes into the fund. There are people who collect pensions and still work. I should know, I pay income tax all my retirement income including social security and it is punitive. The tax was imposed in l983....thank Ronald Reagan and his revolting congress.

I stumbled across this book browsing in my local bookstore and I couldn't believe my eyes. It laid out everything you need to know to retire. It is extremely well-organized and well-written. I gave a copy to my financial advisor and told him I finally understood all the stuff he was trying to explain to me.

I just received this book and thumbing through it read Ohapter 14 on Social Security. On page 141 she that at age 62 you lose $1 in benefits for every $2 in earnings above $11,500 - which is correct. But then she goes on to saying "You can't get around these reductions in benefits by supplementing your Social Security income with withdrawals from your other savings or retirement plans. CAPITAL GAINS, dividends, interest income, and any other withdrawals from your retirement plans or accounts count as income and you fail the test if you push past $11,500 or $30,000 regardless of source."

This seemed wrong to me so I went to the Social Security web site. The SSA says (answer ID 277): "Nonwork sources of income, such as: inheritance payments, pensions, income from investments, IRA distributions, interest, or other sources do not count as wages for the earnings test."

What other errors are there in this book? I don't trust it after 30 minutes of reading, certaintly not to help with my retirement decisions. At least I only lost the cost of the book

This has to be one of the most boring topics in the field of financial advice. The proliferation of retirement savings plans, the maze of regulations, exceptions, and judgement calls that have to be considered by the average retiree is almost numbing. It's boring in the abstract. But it gets your attention when it's your money and future in the balance. Bascially simple rules for accumulating retirement wealth and accessing it continue to evolve like a patchwork quilt. Malaspina is relentless in her efforts to cover the topic and we are the beneficiaries. Chapter 21 treats the issue of company stock held in a retirement plan and how it can receive tax advantaged treatment. Malaspina does an even-handed job of explaining the risks and discusses whether it makes sense to take advantage of this often overlooked opportunity. Information "For Women Only" and non-spousal partners (Chapters 22,23)is dealt with briefly, but it also very useful. One important retiree misconception that does not appear in this book: Many otherwise sophisticated investors facing annual required mandatory minimum withdrawals from their IRA's at 70 1/2 don't realize that assets do not always have to be sold to comply. Many investment assets can be moved 'as they are' into a non-IRA account at market value thus avoiding unnecessary sales charges and the loss of a worthy investment.

Geez, I find Tut's review inappropriate. My copy had an errata sheet with a correction for the error that is cited, which is more than I can say for some of the other books I've read on retirement. The book is readable, comprehensive and not too technical. I found answers to a lot of my questions. I particularly liked that I could find the information I needed without reading the whole book. Malaspina seems to know enough about her audience to have anticipated the key issues and organized them from the most basic to the most arcane. My advice: If you are within 5 years of retirement, this book should be on your "must read" list.

All major points discussed. I was able to browse and learn many points in a matter of minutes. I like this book. It is really good.

Not the most entertaining reading, but a necessary read... every now and then. I hope that it will prove to be a valuable purchase at tax time.

Every year this series of books is a must have for tax preparers and for the do-it-yourself taxpayer with deductions. Any place you get confused while doing your taxes, just look it up in the tax guide and you can find your answer.

This tax guide is the best I've seen yet. It explained everything step-by-step in a way I could easily understand. I'm not the best with taxes, but this book made everything so easy. It helped me organize my paperwork and it's motivated me to stay organized so that filing for my taxes in the future will be that much easier.

Although theis guide is generally fine, I am dissapointed that no update service is available, either on line or by written suplement. Late changes in law (such as AMT adjustments) and changes in tax forms are so important that they take away from the effectiveness of the guide.

I would basically have to agree with Jen's review about this book. There are too many cases, the book is huge and the font is small...especially in the notes sections. The inclusion of various types of contracts has its plusses and minuses. I feel as if the contracts are stuck in the book in their entirety, but they're not necessarily explained. Thus, even if you're in law school, you're reading the contracts, not understanding the language and then not getting an explanation of the contracts. It's almost the same as reading the contracts as a complete layperson. The worst part is that there are tons of these contracts. Someone who taught this course as an adjunct at my law school assigned pretty much all the contracts in the book to read.

Obviously, they are not captivating reading, so if you're in this position you can get stuck reading boring contracts that you don't understand and a professor who assigns all these contracts to read but doesn't explain them well enough--either because he's a lawyer in this field and it makes way more sense to him than to you and/or because he's a practicing attorney rather than a real law professor and, thus, doesn't really know how to teach. I think both applied in my situation, and, unfortunately, people teaching entertainment law oftentimes will be practicing attorneys and/or completely over your head with knowledge.

I don't feel as if this book is well-written, and sometimes the contracts aren't the only things that don't make sense or aren't explained well enough. Terms are thrown out or descriptions/explanations of the industry are given sometimes in ways that don't help someone who knows nothing about it...or at least doesn't know about the areas being covered by a particular chapter. I'm not just talking about the legal aspects; I am also referring to the actual industry itself and the way things work in it. That makes this book much worse than the average legal casebook. And with the size of this book--and, as a result, the amount of material covered in it--a lot of stuff that doesn't always make sense is thrown at you, and that's hard to deal with, even for a law student. And with other books I've seen and/or read on the market that explain the entertainment industry, this book could easily be less in-depth/complicated and shorter, even including the same amount of cases.

In other words, this book is just not brought down to a dummy's level enough, or even enough to be taught in law school. And it takes what should be an interesting subject and makes it completely devoid of intrigue. For people who are interested in this book outside of school reading and want to know more about the intersection of business, entertainment and/or law, this is not the book to read or refer to. What I did like about this book is when I could understand it, it presented a lot of interesting cases and information about the industry, even in its complicated contracts. Still, professors and teachers, please find a better textbook if you're using this to teach...or arrange your class lectures in a way that breaks the book down in English!

A book that has it's groundings firmly set into the the real world, dealing with real problems and real people, providing real life examples and presenting all the legal aspects of the entertaintment business. In this forth edition things have been turned up a notch and the information just got a little hotter, with even more revealing information and an interesting online section.

1. There are too many cases to illustrate the same point. For example, the Remedies section does not nearly need to be as long as it is. The bankruptcy section would be just as adequate and informative with 2-3 cases and more commentary. The agency rules chapter and the chapter on literary publishing also have this same problem: it is repetitive and there are too many cases with the same point. Some of the cases would have been been just as effective as a note case.

2. The size of the font for the note cases are too small and sometimes, an eye strain to read. I understand that there is a concern for the length of the book, but with the first suggestion and using thinner pages may fix this. (this book uses paper that is considerably thicker than your average law book). Also, sometimes, with the center justification alignment for the note cases, it squeezes the sentences together, it's almost impossible to read. (see page 199, note 3, the third line --the entire line is practically one word).

3. On the plus side, I do like how the book goes through entertainment agreements. For example, the detailed discussions on music publishing agreements with comments after each provision were very helpful.

As an attorney teaching an entertainment law course to undergraduates at the University of Notre Dame, I've found this text book to be very useful. Not only does it address and examine legal issues that face entertainment industry persons, it examines *how* the entertainment industries actually work. The vast majority of my students have found this book to be useful and worthwhile.

I had some pretty high expectations for this book and it came nowhere near delivering. There are a lot of better books on the market that explain how to start a business. Most of the forms in this book can be made yourself with minimal word processing skills.

Now in a newly updated and expanded third edition, Legal Forms For Starting & Running A Small Business is a comprehensive resource packed with forms for getting a business off the ground, borrowing money, hiring employees, creating contracts, buying or leasing space, and much more. Legal Forms For Starting & Running A Small Business balances its wealth of reproducible documents with straightforward "how-to" instructions and advice, a new checklist to help first-timers, and an accompanying Windows and Mac compatible CD-ROM makes printing out the forms a breeze. An easy-to-use "must-have" for small business owners and managers everywhere. Also very strongly recommended are Nolo's two companion titles in their simply outstanding business instructional guide series: The Small Business Start-Up Kit: 3rd Edition (1413300405, $24.99) and Home Business Tax Deductions: Keep What You Earn: 2nd Edition Updated for 2006 (1413303749, $34.99).

GREAT BOOK, WE ARE STARTING A HORSE RETIREMENT HOME.
THIS REALLY HELPS US.
THANKS
SARAH

After I got Legal Guide for Starting & Running a Small Business I found about this Legal Forms title...made my day..This book is loaded with FORMS !

This book really helped us with all the forms that we needed to provide to the federal govt. & accountant.

As a practicing attorney there are many books on my desk at any given time, but this is one of the few that I return to on a daily basis for a clear and brief explanation of taxation of partnerships.

If you work with partnerships, limited partnerships or limited liability companies as an attorney, accountant, investor/member/partner or manager, I highly recommend this book. You won't regret it.

Partnership taxation can be incredibly complex. I am an attorney and have been looking for a book on partnership tax to suggest to my clients. This is the best book I have found for the businessman that wants to know more, but has not had formal graduate school level training in partnership taxation.

This book really saved my bacon in partnership tax. It provides very clear explanations of complex items with hundreds of examples. If you are new to partnership tax, this is the book to get.

In their preface, Professors Gunn and Repetti preview the daunting task they faced in writing and revising this student reader: how to provide a simple introduction to the extremely complex area of partnership taxation. In this reviewer's opinion, Gunn and Repetti have well achieved their goal. My opinion is based on teaching taxation at the law school level for well over ten years. During that time I have taught partnership tax as both a stand alone course and as part of a combined taxation of business entities. For law students beginning their inquiry into partnership taxation, Gunn and Repetti's reader provides useful explanations and examples to a range of issues. In my opinion the strongest part of the book are the examples, particularly the Section 704(b) special allocations and the Section 704(c) allocations. These explanations are not a substitute for a careful reading of the regulations. They do, however, provide accessible examples for students who are struggling for a handhold in these complicated areas.

I have recommended the earlier editions of this book to my students in the past and will continue to recommend this latest edition.

So much an overview it lacks even the decency of being called a book. It is less functional than the nipples on a man's chest. The chapter on Section 704(c) is so light as to be laughable. Do not waste your money unless you need paper to start the wood in your fireplace.

See instead the logic of subchapter K. A far better book.

This book is not worth the paper it is printed on. Very poor structure. Badly written in such a way that the Secrets remain so. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

It should come as no surprise to you that the Federal Income Taxes are horribly confusing. They contain all kinds of special loopholds, private benefits, bureaucratic rulings and whatever that it's very difficult to follow.

This book takes one small subset of the tax code, that pertaining to real estate and pointing out literally hundreds of rulings that you probably never expected. For instance -- Interest on mortages for your home, both principal home and second home is deductable. But. What's a home? A place that 'provides basic living accommodations such as a sleeping place, a toilet, and cooking facilities.' Does your motor home, travel trailer, or boat provide such accommodations? Yes, then it's a home. What if you rent it out some of the time? She provides the IRS rulings.

The book is well written, not difficult to follow, and almost certainly can enable you to find enough deductions to cover it's fairly low cost.

Well written to those that want an introduction into real estate investments and provides some reasonable tax savings tips that do not appear in other tax related books. Using the example on page 98, I figure the gain net return on investment to be 4.5% instead of 31%. I used different assumptions. My assumptions are based on the following: I used $6,027 in buying closing costs. I figured fair rental value as 90% of (5% down, 30 year mortgage at current interest rate) or $1,135 per month. I figured a $45 taxable loss on the sale of the land and building since closing costs and recaptured depreciation offset gain. I figured a $5,736 loss on schedule E before I realized that hiring a property management company means that I cannot take the tax loss on Schedule E. Most of the loss was due to $4,879 in depreciation. I figured the cash flow to be a negative $1,859 for the year since I had lowered the rental income projection and added the property management fee.

Sandy Botkin has presented a very clear analysis of the tax advantages around owning real estate. Real Estate Tax Secrets of the Rich is an excellent tool for any financial and real estate professional (CPA, CFP, Mortgage Advisors, Realtors, etc)that counsels and advises property owners and investors. I intend to make this book available for my clients as well.

If you are a real estate investor, or, better yet, if you are thinking about investing in real estate, read this book before you buy your first property!
You will be glad you did. Proper tax planning can yield you so much more money in the short and long term than you can imagine. Sandy lays out all the details in simple language and easy to understand examples. This book is worth its weight in gold! If you are new to real esate investing I also recommend that you read "Investing in Real Estate - 5'th Edition" by Gary Eldred & Andrew Mclean
