Tax Research Exercises

The purpose of the tax research exercises is to help you examine the source documentation for the text material that we discuss in the lectures and become familiar with tax research resources. After you have completed the exercises and we have reviewed them in class, you should have a better understanding of the technical material and how to use the analytical frameworks that we discuss in class to organize and solve problems.

The exercises are available as web-based forms on the course web site. You must use the CCH Tax Research Network (on the CWU library web site) to answer questions on the forms.

The exercises are due before the class on the scheduled due date. Submissions are automatic via the web forms. You should bring printed copies to class so that you can make correcting notations when we review them in class.

Grading is based on:

  1. Your presence in class when we review the problem (no presence, no points).

  2. The completeness and accuracy of your submission.

  3. The timeliness of your submission.
