Secondary Sources

Download PDF

Secondary sources of information are not binding on a court and, depending on the source, are of varying persuasive value.  There are a large number of secondary sources that are appropriate for tax law research and analysis, and only some of my preferred sources are referred to herein. Note that the majority of secondary sources are not available for free on-line and as such no links are provided for those not available on-line.  Almost all of the sources I refer to are available at most courthouse libraries.

Secondary sources are usually the best place to begin your research, especially when you are attempting to identify all of the issues raised by the matter you are faced with.
