"From adjusted gross income to zoning and property taxes, the second edition of The Encyclopedia of Taxation and Tax Policy offers the best and most complete guide to taxes and tax-related issues. More than 150 tax practitioners and administrators, policymakers, and academics have contributed. The result is a unique and authoritative reference that examines virtually all tax instruments used by governments (individual income, corporate income, sales and value-added, property, estate and gift, franchise, poll, and many variants of these taxes), as well as characteristics of a good tax system, budgetary issues, and many current federal, state, local, and international tax policy issues. The new edition has been completely revised, with 40 new topics and 200 articles reflecting six years of legislative changes. Each essay provides the generalist with a quick and reliable introduction to many topics but also gives tax specialists the benefit of other experts' best thinking, in a manner that makes the complex understandable. Reference lists point the reader to additional sources of information for each topic. The first edition of The Encyclopedia of Taxation and Tax Policy was selected as an Outstanding Academic Book of the Year (1999) by Choice magazine."--Publisher's website.

For decades, banks and brokerage houses effectively convinced us that IRA holdings could be invested only in stocks and CDs. Few people knew that there was a viable alternative that offered both safety and growth. That alternative is real estate. In IRA Wealth, investment expert Patrick W. Rice first teaches you how to turn your IRA into a self-directed account, and then details the many ways in which real estate products can make you rich. The author offers a wide variety of strategies for both the aggressive investor interested in high returns and the conservative investor looking for a steady stream of income—all tax-deferred or tax-exempt. Although it may be a little late to avoid the volatility of the stock market, the lesson has been simple: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Patrick Rice now offers you an entirely new basket that holds golden eggs for a bright and rewarding future.
