2018 U.S. Master Tax Guide

By Chris Dykes
Wolters Kluwer has recently published an update to the 2018 U.S. Master Tax Guide (KF6370.C65 2018a) to reflect the changes made to the tax code by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted last December. The U.S. Master Tax Guide is a single volume tax handbook that contains quick but detailed information on virtually every tax topic with references to the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury Regulations, and other sources of primary authority. It also contains references to Wolters Kluwer publications such as the Standard Federal Tax Reporter (KF6366.C65) practice guide, which is ideal for those interested in further research. This source also contains a list of important dates for the year, tax tables, checklists, and an index.

For example, let's cite to the codified statute section that prohibits Texans from hunting or selling bats, living or dead. Note, however, you may remove or hunt a bat that is inside or on a building occupied by people. The statute is silent as to Batman, who for his own safety, best stay in Gotham City.
This section of the Texas Parks and Wildlife code is 63.101. "Protection of Bats." After checking the pocket part and finding no updates in the supplement, my citation will be:
Tex. Parks & Wild. Code Ann. § 63.101 (West ___ ). When I look at the statute in my bound volume of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code, I can clearly see that the volume's publication date is 2002. But, when I find the same citation on Westlaw or LexisNexis, all I can see is that the …
