Assignment for First Class

Prior to the first class, you should download and read the Syllabus. In addition, you should download Part I of the reading assignments. For the first class, read the assigned materials under chapter “1. Orientation” in the reading assignments (i.e., the bottom of page 1 and top half of page 2). Much of this first assignment is background material that we will not cover in detail. In the first class, we will focus on class administration issues, the basic sources of tax law and guidance, and general tax policy considerations.
