1991 Edition

William Hoffman's annual Federal Taxation textbook was the standard for undergraduate and graduate accounting programs for good reason: it tracks the actual tax code with care, applies concepts to realistic scenarios, and was updated each year to stay current. The 1991 edition reflects the individual income tax law as it stood in 1990–91, and Hoffman's long tenure at the University of Houston gives the work serious academic credibility. The caveat is unavoidable — this is a snapshot of a tax code from over thirty years ago. For current tax guidance, look elsewhere. But for accounting history students, educators building curriculum around a specific era, or collectors of the West's Federal Taxation series, this edition has real reference value. The series earned its reputation over decades of reliable work.
