New for the 2007 Edition, the CCH Federal Tax Course has been completely revised and restructured. The new edition approaches the study of taxation from the perspective of the business person faced with business decisions that are inevitably affected by tax considerations. This perspective leads to a very different coverage in this textbook -- coverage that is useful for accounting, finance and general business majors. The new edition focuses on the central concepts that build our tax framework and avoids small exceptions and details to ensure the student can confidently master the critical underpinnings of federal taxation.
