Series Editor’s ForewordThe Carolina Academic Press Mastering Series is designed to provide you

with a tool that will enable you to easily and efficiently “master” the substanceand content of law school courses. Throughout the series, the focus is onquality writing that makes legal concepts understandable. As a result, the seriesis designed to be easy to read and is not unduly cluttered with footnotes orcites to secondary sources.

In order to facilitate student mastery of topics, the Mastering Series includesa number of pedagogical features designed to improve learning and retention.At the beginning of each chapter, you will find a “Roadmap” that tells youabout the chapter and provides you with a sense of the material that you willcover. A “Checkpoint” at the end of each chapter encourages you to stop andreview the key concepts, reiterating what you have learned. Throughout thebook, key terms are explained and emphasized. Finally, a “Master Checklist”at the end of each book reinforces what you have learned and helps you identifyany areas that need review or further study.

We hope that you will enjoy studying with, and learning from, the MasteringSeries.

PrefaceThe income tax affects individuals in many ways. First, of course, they must

compute the amount they owe (or any refund due to them) on an annual basis.Second, they confront tax consequences when they sell property or make giftsto family members. The attorneys who advise them encounter tax issues inevery practice area. If they represent businesses accused of civil or criminalwrongdoing, they try to structure damages and other payments to preservetheir deductibility. If they practice matrimonial law, they must understand thetax consequences of property settlements and custody. If they specialize in realproperty transactions, they regularly encounter the tax consequences of debtrestructuring, eminent domain, and like-kind exchanges.

This book covers concepts you are likely to encounter in a basic federalincome tax course. These range from the components of taxable income andtax— gross income, exclusions, deductions, and credits— to the rules thatgovern timing and character of income and deductions. Recognizing that taxmust be considered in context, we focus on the most common income anddeduction provisions and indicate how they affect taxpayers in various settings.We include numerous examples to illustrate the concepts in addition to citationsto relevant authority.

Because it may appear that you must know everything about the incometax to understand any of its provisions, we begin with an overview of how theparts fit together. But our primary focus is on the material in subsequentchapters. We hope you find this book and its structure a useful guide to learningfederal income tax.
