If you use our materials, the text is your primary resource but you may want to supplement your studies as needed.

Prior Tax Court exam questions – are useful for your study, but remember to answer them with current tax law.  Questions are available at ustaxcourt.gov for a fee or for free from our website (2000-2021).

Amazon.com – many resources on Federal Tax, Federal Rules of Evidence, and Professional Responsibility are now available through amazon.com.  Watch publication dates to ensure these are current study materials.

Emanuel Law Outline Series for evidence is useful and is available online or in bookstores.  The CrunchTime Evidence book by Steven Emanuel is also useful as are many other resources such as workbooks, flash cards, and other study aids.  A visit to the local law school bookstore or a search on Google may lead you to your perfect resource.

Federal Rules of Evidence – you can use any resource, but you’ll want something with commentary to help explain how to apply and use the FRE.  This is one possible source, but amazon.com offers others.  Watch publication dates so you are using current resources (substantive changes to the FRE aren’t common, but they are tweaked each year).  https://barristerbooks.com/law-in-a-nutshell-federal-rules-of-evidence-9781684676859.htm#.YrjDsnbMJPY
