The third edition of Federal Income Taxation in Focus continues to prepare students for the rigors of sophisticated tax practice and the challenges of more advanced courses in federal tax law. Author Bobby L. Dexter's engaging narrative style and generous use of examples and illustrations make tax law more enjoyable and interesting for students. The concepts, rules, and technical nuances of tax law are presented within a clear and logical framework. Hands-on pedagogy such as Real Life Applications, Applying the Concepts, and Federal Income Taxation in Practice provide plenty of opportunities for students to exercise such practice-based skills as critical analysis, problem solving, drafting legal documents, and preparing appropriate filings.
