The U.S. Tax Reporter Library w/Public Domain and ECS consists of:

United States Tax Reporter

• CompareIt, the unique tax research tool that links you directly from a Federal provision to coverage of similar provisions in relevant states and vice versa (no more multiple searches!)
• Go-To button, which allows you to type in a Code section and link directly to other relevant USTR components for that Code section that are keyword searchable
• Comprehensive coverage of federal income, estate, gift and excise and international (U.S. based) taxes
• A Table of Contents, so you can search the entire USTR on Checkpoint just the way you do Code-based research; it links all the components together to find what you need fast
• Superior editorial Explanations from our on-staff experts that includes RIA commentary in the form of Observations, Examples, Cautions and Tax Tips providing real-world advice and professional insights that you cannot get anyplace else
• Extensive cross references & linking, providing ready access to explanations, annotations, and source material related to your research
• Search templates that allow you to search USTR components by keyword, retrieve USTR documents by citation, and more
• Up-to-date information is critical to your research. That’s why USTR updates its information “in place” - meaning you don’t have to access a separate current developments page to make sure you’re looking at the latest data. (Our competitor can’t say that)
• 40% more annotations of cases and rulings, full-text reprints of cases, and headnotes than any other tax reporter
• Annotations - organized by both Code section and legal issue - cite RIA's American Federal Tax Reports and other widely used case reporters. Plus, getting the latest opinions is easy, as all updates are always in one place - no current development areas to track down
• Smart paragraph numbering system (based on code section numbers) tells you at a glance if the paragraph deals with the code section at hand. The researcher can tell the Code section from the paragraph number located in a hit list, the table of contents, or the topic index
• Additional IRS practice aids: Market Segment Understandings (MSUs), Market Segment Specialization Program Guide (MSSPs), Industry Specialization Papers (ISPs), IRS Phone Directory and AICPA Ethical Materials
• Proven practice tools, sample client letters, checklists of tax-saving opportunities and other practice aids to help you better serve your clients while generating revenue
• The premier Federal Tax Weekly Alert newsletter and RIA Federal Tax Handbook for quick and direct answers to your day-to-day questions
