Federal Tax Research: About this Guide

This guide mentions print and online resources used to research federal tax law that are available in the Louis L. Biro Law Library. Print resource locations and call numbers are listed. References to online databases include links to those databases.  

For a comprehensive understanding of tax research and the many print and online resources available, it is worthwhile to consult a good text such as Gail Richmond’s Federal Tax Research.
