Resources available through the Newman Library's subscription databases and selected free websites for federal tax research.

Introduction

Conducting tax research requires knowledge of a number of tax law sources (codes, regulations, various administrative materials and rulings, cases, etc.) and their levels of authority and how they fit together. Changes are constant.  There are free government sources and also resources enhanced by commercial vendors.  

This guide introduces the most common tax sources and describes how to find and use these sources through the Newman Library.
