Book Description

Finally, a partnership tax study guide with questions and answers. Written by an acclaimed teacher at Northwestern University, the Exam Pro on Partnership Taxation is designed to help JD and LLM students from the first day of class through the final exam. It begins with over 50 short lectures on topics in partnership tax ranging from basic to advanced, illustrated by over 250 study problems, each with a complete explanation of the right (and wrong) answers. Several of these lectures focus on the basic accounting concepts that are essential to understanding partnership tax, to give students with no prior accounting background the tools they need to succeed in this subject. The book includes nine sample exams that, like the lectures, increase in difficulty from basic to advanced, labeled so that students can pick the exams that are right for them and the course they are taking. Full answers to each of the exam questions are provided, with cross-references to the lectures and the study questions. Robert R. Wootton is a Professor of Practice at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law who practiced in big law for 25 years and was the Tax Legislative Counsel of the U.S. Treasury Department. The students in Northwestern Pritzker's LLM Tax Program have named him its outstanding tax professor seven times.
