Author: Robert W. Jamison, CPA, Ph.D.

The S corporation is the most popular entity for closely held businesses, but the rules that regulate S corporations and make them a popular choice are complex, confusing and changing. CCH's popular "S Corporation Taxation" offers an in-depth and comprehensive analysis of S corporation taxation and uses extensive examples to illustrate both simple and complex situations. In areas where authorities do not provide clear guidance, the author constructs plausible courses of action, with appropriate analysis.

Published annually, S Corporation Taxation focuses on the rules of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and integrates these rules with other portions of the tax law that can have substantial impact on S corporations and their shareholders. At the end of each chapter are pertinent checklists, worksheets and sample election letters to help apply the concepts discussed to the reader's actual work.
