5 SUGGESTED READINGS
1.
Marvin A. Chirelstein, CHIRELSTEIN'S FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION: A
LAW STUDENT'S GUIDE TO THE LEADING CASES AND CONCEPTS
(Foundation Press).
Tax students have read this famous text - or it predecessor editions - for
decades. It covers the major concepts and principles of U.S. tax law. It is
an easy and must read.
2.
John K. McNulty and Daniel J. Lathrope, FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION
OF INDIVIDUALS IN A NUTSHELL (West Nutshell Series).
While not as famous as CHIRELSTEIN, the MCNULTY NUTSHELL is well worth the
effort. It is brief, to the point, and easy to understand. Particularly for students new
to tax law, it is very helpful. For the more experienced, it is a great review.
3.
Daniel Q. Posin and Donald B. Tobin, PRINCIPLES OF FEDERAL
INCOME TAXATION, THE CONCISE HORNBOOK SERIES (West).
A more traditional treatise, POSIN AND TOBIN is a good research tool. It covers topics
in greater depth than either CHIRELSTEIN or MCNULTY. This is a great resource.
4.
J. Martin Burke & Michael K. Friel, UNDERSTANDING FEDERAL INCOME
TAXATION (Lexis/Nexis).
Easy to read, BURKE/FRIEL is an excellent resource for beginning tax students – at
the J.D. level and for LL.M. students who lack a thorough background in tax law.
5.
Steven J. Willis, “Masks, Magic and Games: The Use of Tax Law
as a Policy Tool”, 4 AM. J. TAX POL'Y 41 (1985).
Click on the above link to find the author’s viewpoint on the U.S. tax system. Be
prepared for controversy.
