Download or read book Advocating for Low Income Taxpayers written by Diana Leyden and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed for a clinical program or pro bono program that assists low income taxpayers with federal income tax controversies. It draws from four main areas: lawyering skills of interviewing and counseling; ethics; federal tax practice and procedure; and federal tax litigation. Appendices with examples of documents and letters are included to provide practical material. Basic information in the four areas is presented through a combination of commentary, cases, excerpts from federal tax law and procedure, and questions for discussion Appendices provide sample documents that compliment the topics. Unlike other law school case books, the cases have not been extensively edited because the book is meant to provide students and practitioners the opportunity to fully explore and understand the facts and holdings of the cases. Generally, footnotes in reprinted cases and other materials are numbered as in the original. The student who completes a course using this book should have a firm grounding in tax practice and procedure common to tax controversies of individual taxpayers. Practitioners who use this book will be prepared to assist low income taxpayers pro bono, be part of volunteer work with a low income taxpayer clinic or bar association program. While the organization of the book is based on an ideal of how material should be presented, professors can rearrange the reading based on the topics presented in current clinic cases. Practitioners can pick and choose the chapters applicable to their cases, but should not skip the chapters on lawyering skills. Future editions will add chapters on the holistic representation of low income taxpayers (including social and other legal issues that may arise in legal representation), tax issues of importance to immigrants and federal tax crime issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One-in-seven adults and one-in-five children in the United States live in poverty. Individuals and families living in povertyÊnot only lack basic, material necessities, but they are also disproportionally afflicted by many social and economic challenges. Some of these challenges include the increased possibility of an unstable home situation, inadequate education opportunities at all levels, and a high chance of crime and victimization. Given this growing social, economic, and political concern, The Hamilton Project at Brookings asked academic experts to develop policy proposals confronting the various challenges of AmericaÕs poorest citizens, and to introduce innovative approaches to addressing poverty.ÊWhen combined, the scope and impact of these proposals has the potential to vastly improve the lives of the poor. The resulting 14 policy memos are included in The Hamilton ProjectÕs Policies to Address Poverty in America. The main areas of focus include promoting early childhood development, supporting disadvantaged youth, building worker skills, and improving safety net and work support.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States annually spends over $300 billion on public elementary and secondary education.

The shift from "equity" to "adequacy" as a new standard for determining fairness in education spending. The debate and the evidence over the productivity of American schools. Strategies for using school finance in support of broader reforms aimed at raising student achievement. This book contains a comprehensive review of the theory and practice of financing public schools by federal, state, and local governments in the United States.
