South-Western Federal Taxation 2009: Corporations, Partnerships, Estates and Trusts
This is by far the worst tax book I have seen. I had to endure this book in a corporate tax course at CMU. This book will leave you clueless on how to actually prepare a tax form. I received an “A” in the course but the book should get an “F”. Instructors should care about their students and not on the kickback that they get from the publishers. If you have to use this book – Good luck.

This a good corporate tax book, and I’m not saying that just because my professor (Raabe) helped write it. It is a very comprehensive look at partnerships, corporate, estate, and trust taxes. For anyone who plans on being a tax professional (CPA or adviser, not just someone doing taxes 101) then this is a great book and discusses all the issues. No it does not teach you how to prepare a form and it shouldn’t. That is not being a professional. That is being a monkey. It teaches you how to think about the tax issues in a logical way. Learning how to fill out a tax form is done as a staff one in a big four firm. This class helps you once you are past that point and assists in actually helping your clients reduce their corporate taxes. Which is what is important and makes the money. As Raabe says, if you’re not helping your client pay as little taxes as possible then you’re not doing your job. There is a reason why corporations only pay 9% of the taxes the government handles despite the fact they make billions of dollars.
It is a very good book.
