Research Into Tax Laws
Research (from Wiktionary) – Diligent inquiry or examination to seek or revise facts, principles, theories, applications.
I do corporate tax work for a living. When I started in my field, the tax reporters were all paper. I specialize in state taxation, so there were over 50 reporters (at least one for each state; more for several of the states). If I had to research a topic in multiple states, my desk would be covered with books.
Now, the tax reporters are on-line. If I research multiple states, I open up multiple windows on my computer. It’s a good thing too – my current cubicle is so small that I couldn’t hold a lot of books on my table top!

Word for tomorrow – SMILED. If you prefer to work ahead, see the list for the week under “A Word A Day”.

I am a backyard adventurer, philosopher and observer, recording my life in journals and photographs. Visit my blog at www.livingtheseasons.com.
Well, thank heavens for people like you. Me and money and tax laws just don’t mix. It’s why I pay someone to do it.
We all have to make a living somehow!!
Thanks for visiting.
My head is spinning at the thought of the information you must have in your head & at your finger tips.
Thankfully when I was self-employed running a music studio from my home my husband did all the tax work. He finds reading tax codes interesting. My eyes just glaze over with confusion & I feel like I must have major reading comprehension problems I opened a tax booklet.
My husband feels the same way that you do. Of course, when he starts talking f-stops and camera raw, I feel the same way. It’s all a matter of perspective (and experience).
It is amazing how the computer has changed our lives. :)
And how! I cannot believe that less than 20 years ago in the workplace we all shared a couple of computers and had no shared servers. Now we all have a computer and share all kinds of files.
