Why We Study Taxation?
Why Should You Study Taxation?
The tax law affects every individual and every organization. They rely on tax professionals to help them comply with the tax law, plan to reduce their tax burden, and resolve any tax controversies with taxing authorities. Auditors rely on tax professionals to help them determine a company’s income tax expense and income tax liability. Taxing authorities, such as the Internal
Revenue Service and state departments of revenue, rely on tax professionals to help them administer the tax law. Thus, tax professionals are in demand by public accounting firms, businesses, and government agencies.

According to Shesgreen (2013) at least 108 eventually had their tax-exempt applications approved, including 31 tea party members, patriot, or 9/12 organizations. 28 withdrew their applications, and another batch — 160 cases as of December 2012 — remain in limbo.
