Book excerpt: "The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.

Download or read book Tax Simplification written by Chris Evans and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are tax systems so complex? What are the causes of tax law complexity? What are the consequences? Why is tax simplification so difficult to achieve? These, and related questions, lie at the core of this volume on tax simplification featuring chapters by leading tax experts around the world. The quest for simplicity è^' or at least some move towards simplification è^' has been a fixation of governments and others for many years, but little appears to have been achieved. Tax simplification is the most widely quoted but the least widely observed of the usually stated goals of policy (equity and efficiency being the others). It has been used (and abused) as a primary justification for tax reform over the last century, and typically it is seen as è^-a good thingè^-- è^' to say that one is in favour of tax simplification is tantamount to stating that one is in favour of good as opposed to evil.

Download or read book What Does Voluntary Tax Compliance Mean written by Jack Manhire and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the IRS's principal goals is to maximize voluntary compliance. Yet, there is often a great deal of confusion and consternation when taxpayers discover that the IRS refers to the annual filing and payment ritual as “voluntary;” especially since most taxpayers do not believe they have a choice when it comes to filing and paying their taxes. What does voluntary compliance mean? Does it mean taxpayers can volunteer to file returns and pay taxes, much as one might volunteer to make a charitable donation? Does it mean taxpayers don't have to comply with the tax laws if they don't feel like it? How can it be a federal crime to not file or pay taxes if compliance is voluntary? This essay offers a government perspective as to why the IRS uses this sometimes perplexing term. After investigating (and dismissing) a possible literal defense, the essay surveys the IRS's history to see why voluntary compliance is such a critical part of the U.S. tax system. The essay then recommends changing the term from voluntary to cooperative compliance to retain the government's meaning while lessening taxpayer confusion.

Book excerpt: Federal Tax Accounting advises tax preparers, accountants, attorneys, and other professionals about timing issues, i.e. when an item, such as income, deduction, or credit may be reported on a tax return. Tax accounting rules govern the tax incidents of when tax events must be taken into account for federal income tax purposes. The when question is the subject of this book. In general, tax accounting is not concerned with whether an item is includable in income or deductible or even with the character of the item but when it may be reported. One may ask "how can a book''s sole subject be when? Consider the following issues which relate to timing: . Under the annual accounting doctrine, should tax accounting be transactional or periodic? . Should an item of income be considered income upon receipt even though the taxpayer might be obligated to return the item? What if the item is in dispute; should it be picked up as income or be deferred? . If a taxpayer takes a deduction in a previous year but recovers the item in a subsequent year, should the item recovered be income? . If the taxpayer dissolves his corporation and recognizes capital gain and is obligated to pay a liability of the corporation, is the deduction ordinary or capital? . What tax year should a partnership, S corporation, personal holding company or regular corporation use? What are the alternatives for the taxpayer? Can taxpayers make elections to use tax years other than those that are required? . If the taxpayer is using an erroneous tax year, how is the error corrected? . What are the requirements for choosing methods of accounting? . How does a taxpayer adopt a method of accounting? . Should the taxpayer be using the cash method of accounting; if so how should the taxpayer maintain his books? How should the books clearly reflect income? . When a taxpayer receives a promissory note, does the taxpayer have income? Can the taxpayer defer income? . If a taxpayer is involved in a commercial transaction and deposits the money in escrow until the following year, when does the taxpayer have income? . If a taxpayer decides to prepay some year-end expenses, can the taxpayer take a deduction before the expenses are utilized? . What are the rules for the taxpayer who is required to use the accrual method of accounting? . Is title important to an accrual method taxpayer? . What if the income is recognized but may not be collected; can the accrual taxpayer not report income? . If an accrual method taxpayer receives prepaid income, must it always recognize income? . How does prepaid income relate to generally accepted accounting principles and financial accounting? . If a taxpayer is using an erroneous method of accounting, can it change to a proper method or must it seek permission from the Commissioner? . What if the Commissioner determines that a taxpayer is using an improper method of accounting; what are the consequences? . What are the rules for the sale of containers, routable spare parts, COD sales, consignment etc.? . Can small businesses which sell merchandise use the cash method under certain circumstances? . If a taxpayer is required to use the uniform capitalization rules under IRC §263A what exceptions are there? . What is the small reseller exception? . What is the small producer exception? . How does a taxpayer determine ending inventory including additional uniform capitalization costs? . If a taxpayer is a reseller, what items will be purchasing cost, labor costs, and handling cost? . What are the simplified methods for determining additional IRC §263A cost to ending inventory? . How are these methods implemented? . What are the tax accounting rules for multiple businesses? Can a business maintain two separate methods of accounting? . What are the interest capitalization rules required under IRC §263A? . If the taxpayer is engaged in an installment sale, will the installment sale be qualified under IRC §453? . What are the exceptions to IRC §453? . How is installment gain determined? . If the taxpayer engages in a contingent payment sale, how is the sale reported? . Can dealers engage in installment sales? . What are the related party rules that impact tax accounting (including installment sales)? . What are the rules required for non-dealers who sell property for more than $5 million? . What are the rules for long-term contracts, manufacturing contracts, and construction contracts? . How is the completed contract method implemented? . How is the percentage of completion method implemented? . Which taxpayers who are producing goods are permitted a domestic production deduction? How is the domestic production deduction computed and applied? . How does time value of money transaction impact tax accounting transactions? . What is the AFR? . Are private annuities available? . How are self-canceling notes determined and utilized? . How is personal interest handled for tax accounting purposes? . How is investment interest determined and handled for tax accounting purposes? . What are the original issue discount rules applicable to tax accounting? . What are below-market loans and what are the issues related thereto? This and much more is the subject of Federal Tax Accounting. Tax accounting rules are found in all areas of federal income tax. These rules often involve many issues that are visible and, in some cases, invisible, governing items that are includable in income, deductible or creditable. Many of the issues that arise in an audit depend on resolution of tax accounting issues. As a result tax accounting issues have become more and more important and receive more scrutiny in determining tax policy. Tax practitioners need to have a thorough understanding of tax accounting to be able to analyze and solve tax problems. Over the years tax accounting has become more and more complex as the need for revenue has increased. The tax accounting rules do not always match up with generally accepted accounting principles and, in fact, often deviate from them. The goal of tax accounting is to produce income and to protect government revenue as opposed to informing the public of information necessary for a financial decision. Tax accounting is not transactional but periodic which means that on an annual basis taxpayers must determine whether they have income or losses. There are several ameliorative provisions such as net operating losses, the tax benefit rule, etc.. which may balance out certain tax accounting principles. Indeed, a substantial portion of every tax problem that practitioners face inevitably involves a tax accounting issue.
