A good reference for people in the industry, NOT for beginners

A must for in-depth information for each tax year. This is a good reference book to find clarification on specific tax concepts. However, it is not great for general tax knowledge as the format is daunting. The font is super small, the pages are giant, and the examples are hard to follow. For some sections, IRS publication may be better than using the book. For other concepts, using two references is helpful. In addition, there is more insight in the book that clarifies specific exclusions and exceptions. I am an Enrolled Agent (EA) and have been preparing tax returns for several years, so I use tax reference materials a lot. It is a good book for people in the industry but too hard for beginners. ( )
