American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. Like other books in the Graduate Tax Series, this text is intended to serve as a complement to the study of the Internal Revenue Code and Regulations. Each of the 26 chapters contains an overview of the subject that is structured around an assignment to these primary authorities. Critical passages of important cases or rulings generally are limited to excerpts in the overview, and edited opinions of seminal decisions appear on only a handful of occasions. Each chapter closes with a series of complex, practice-oriented problems that require students to spot and resolve issues in the context of realistic hypotheticals that could be encountered in an estate planning practice.
