Identify the different types of tax periodicals. Explain how tax periodicals are used in tax research and why they are valuable to a tax researcher.

Correct Answer

verifed

verified

Tax periodicals contain a variety of articles and news briefs that are designed to keep researchers up to date on changes, developments, and analyses of the tax law. Tax periodicals include annual proceedings, scholarly reviews, professional journals and newsletters. Tax articles can suggest new viewpoints on tax issues, give guidance for solving complex problems, or explain a new law. Tax articles also can lead a researcher to pertinent primary sources. Tax practitioners researching a topic can capitalize on an outside author's expert judgment to save research time. Tax periodicals also are useful when primary sources are unclear or primary sources do not address an issue. A secondary source or editorial article by an expert in the field may suggest a possible answer. Annual proceedings and scholarly reviews offer considerable depth of coverage of tax issues. Professional journals offer practical insights by the authors and "how­to" practice tips. Tax newsletters keep tax practitioners abreast of the current changes and trends in the tax law. While tax researchers cannot rely on secondary sources such as tax periodicals for controlling authority, tax periodicals can help lead a practitioner to the correct answer.

The CCH Federal Tax Weekly is an example of what type of tax periodical?


A) A weekly newsletter.
B) A professional and practitioner journal.
C) A scholarly review.
D) An annual proceeding.

E) All of the above
F) None of the above
