Tax research resources

These outlines provide an overview of the different types of tax law research resources. There are three groups of outlines. The first group focuses on tax-specific materials available online, specifically, primary authority, secondary authority, and bibliogrphies of online tax information. The focus is on free resources, but some reference to subscription or pay-as-you-go services is also included.

The second group of outlines references tax resources in print - treatises, multi-volume looseleaf services, current awareness services and periodicals.

The remainder of the outlines focus on online legal resources of a more general nature. The 'General legal resources' outline sets forth several legal information sites, commercial and non-, that enable access to a wide variety of primary and secondary authority. The last outline, 'Vehicles for searching the Internet' provides a brief explanation of the types of Internet search tools available.
