What is Tax Research?
What does 'Tax Research' mean?
Looking up the tax law, regulations, rulings, and case law that apply to a specific client situation, and documenting the conclusion. Research tools give practitioners searchable primary sources alongside editorial commentary and worked examples, so a position can be supported if it is later challenged. This is the reference work behind an accountant's advice rather than the return-preparation step itself.
