Excerpt from A New Income Tax Manual: Explaining the Requirements of the Federal Income Tax Law and the Treasury Department Regulations With Respect to the Administration Thereof The object of this book is to present a general explanation of the requirements of the Federal Income Tax Law and the Regulations and Rulings of the Treasury Department with respect thereto. Being in the nature of a compilation, it is proper that there should be references to the authority upon which its statements are based, and for this reason numerous references are made to the Law itself, by paragraphs, thus: (Par. E), (Par. G, subd. a), etc.; to the Regulations and Rulings of the Treasury Department, by their respective numbers, thus: (T. D. 1887), (T. D. 1901), etc.; and to the General Regulations by articles, thus: (G. R. 1), (G.R. 2), etc. References are also made to the various forms which have been prescribed by the Department by their numbers, thus (Form 1000), (Form 1001), etc., and to the instructions or special notices, appearing on some of the forms in a similar manner, thus, (Instr. Form 1031), (Instr. Form 1040), etc. These references are invariably to the revised forms which have recently been issued by the Treasury Department and not to earlier forms bearing the same numbers but now obsolete. In addition, references are made to various letters of the Treasury Department containing rulings which have not been embodied in the Treasury Decisions. These letters are published by the Corporation Trust Company of New York in connection with its most efficient Income Tax Service, his indebtedness to which the author takes pleasure in acknowledging. References from one part of the book to another are made by section numbers, thus: (See Sec. 5), (See Sees. 8, 12), etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
