Federal Taxation: Basic Principles (2017)
CCH's Federal Taxation: Basic Principles is a popular first-level tax course textbook that provides a clear concise explanation of the fundamental tax concepts covering both tax planning and compliance. Basic Principles strikes a perfect balance between the AICPA model curriculum (focusing on business tax) and the demands favored by most teachers (covering the fundamentals and building toward the complex). The book is also a favorite in distant learning, because of its clarity and direct approach--and it is also used in special programs like CFP courses.
Basic Principles covers the core tax concepts and principles, including individual taxation, gross income, deductions, credits, property transactions, accounting methods and periods, deferred compensation, retirement plans, partnerships, corporations, trusts and estates, and tax planning for individuals.
It is written by an editorial board of tax teachers that includes members who are currently active in the American Accounting Association, American Taxation Association, the National Tax Challenge, CFP education, CPE lectures, CPA preparation and other programs, so you can be assured that the text is allied with real-world educational outcomes.
FOR ADOPTING TEACHERS: Instructors adopting Federal Taxation: Basic Principles also receive a looseleaf Instructor's Guide that includes the following helpful features:
1) Course outlines and AICPA Model Tax Curriculum outlines that show how the text can be used by teachers in various types of courses. 2) Summary of each chapter to provide the adopter with a quick view of what's covered and to facilitate course preparation and development of lesson plans. 3) Answers to both the Keystone Problems and End-of-Chapter Problems in each chapter in the book. 4) Testbank questions and answers that correspond to each chapter in the book.
CCH's Classroom Advantage CD is also provided to adopting instructors. This CD provides additional teaching help, computer application and ease of use. The Classroom Advantage offers the following great features:
1) An electronic file of the entire Instructor's Guide, so teachers can access all the great information contained in the print Instructor's Guide at their office/home PC or on their laptop. 2) Respondus-ready and Microsoft® Word files of the Testbank questions created by the textbook authors for all chapters in the book. These files allow instructors to customize their own tests. 3) CCH's Computer Slide Presentations for each chapter that help enhance and facilitate class lectures and discussion.
