About the Product

Pratt & Kulsrud’s Corporate, Partnership, Estate and Gift Taxation emphasizes the areas of taxation essential to individuals pursuing careers in taxation and tax-related fields. After an in-depth exploration of the tax problems faced by regular corporations and their shareholders, this text turns its focus to the taxation of partnerships, partners, and S corporations. These chapters are followed by a pair of chapters addressing the special problems relating to international taxation and state and local taxation—two areas of growing importance. After federal estate and gift taxation are discussed, the text concludes with two additional chapters on the income taxation of estates, trusts, and beneficiaries, and the major aspects of family tax planning. The scope of this text is intentionally broad, both to accommodate a variety of uses and to provide flexibility for instructors designing advanced tax courses. Includes TaxAct desktop software.
