PREFACE General
The text materials from Prentice Hall's Federal Taxation, 2010: Individuals (Pope, Anderson, and Kramer) are principally designed for use in a first course in federal taxation for undergraduate accounting and business students.
With the inclusion of chapters on partnerships, S corporations, C corporations, and tax considerations for investors, the text can also be used in a survey federal taxation course for undergraduate or graduate (M.B.A.) students.
The text could also be used in an introductory federal taxation course in law school to the extent that the instructor prefers a more direct approach than the case method.
The text includes a full complement of supplementary and ancillary materials. We recommend that all adopters refer to the Preface to the text for the supplementary and ancillary materials provided to adopters. Many of these items are available to faculty and students at no charge. Adopters are encouraged to use these materials to enhance their teaching effectiveness and their students' learning experience. Sample Syllabi
This guide contains sample syllabi for a one-semester and a one-quarter introductory tax course. It contains suggested reading and problem assignments that can be turned into a complete assignment sheet with only minimal work. Instructor Outlines
The instructor outline for each chapter includes: learning objectives, areas of greater and lesser significance, problem areas for students, highlights of recent tax law changes, teaching tips, lecture outline, and a set of references to court cases that are designed to be interesting and informative to the student. A summary description of each area is presented below. Learning Objectives
The materials for each chapter include the learning objectives for that chapter. This focus will be useful to the instructor and may be communicated to students to assist their study. P-1

Areas of Greater Significance
The materials for each chapter point out the areas of greater significance. This feature permits the instructor to allocate a greater share of class time and homework assignments to these areas. Areas of Lesser Significance
The materials for each chapter point out the areas of lesser significance. This feature permits the instructor to reduce the amount of class time and homework assignments devoted to these areas. Problem Areas for Students
The materials for each chapter detail areas in which students are likely to experience difficulty in learning and in retaining. Instructors may allocate more class time to these topics, while letting the student learn other topics directly from the text and problems. Highlights of Recent Tax Law Changes
Recent tax law changes are highlighted including amendments to the Internal Revenue Code, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions. These changes are cross-referenced to the text materials. Teaching Tips
Each lecture outline contains a series of teaching tips designed to improve an instructor's coverage or presentation of the materials in the chapter. Some of the teaching tips concern issues that might be added to the lecture outline at a particular point. Others focus upon the method of presentation of a topical item. All of these teaching tips have been provided by the authors or instructors who are currently using the book. Lecture Outline
The lecture outlines for each chapter are organizational tools that are centered around the topics that could be covered in lecture discussions. Textual examples, tables, figures, and problems are referenced to the applicable topic. An additional instructor figure is included for each chapter. ASCII files and Microsoft Word files are available for the lecture outlines so that faculty members are able to use these outlines to develop their own lecture outlines. P-2
© 2010 Pearson Education Inc, publishing as Prentice Hall
The lecture outline computer files are available on line at http://www.prenhall.com/phtax. A password and user id is required, and can be obtained from your Prentice Hall representative. The lecture outlines are designed so that the instructor could hand out copies to students to assist them in taking notes and subsequent study. Court Cases
Each chapter contains references to and a brief annotation of a series of selected court cases. These cases are recommended as a way for a faculty member to incorporate interesting illustrations into their lectures. Solutions to Tax Form/Return Preparation Problems
The authors have prepared solutions to the Tax Form/Return Preparation Problems for their chapters.
We hope that these materials are helpful when teaching with the Prentice Hall’s Federal Taxation, 2010: Individuals text. We would appreciate receiving any suggestions that you have for improving these or any other supplemental materials. Please send any error corrections or suggestions to one of the two editors.
