The Federal Income Taxation of Individuals: An Integrated Approach Kwall
ISBN 9781640207516
Celebrating a Milestone with a Bold New Approach to Personal Income Tax
On the 25th anniversary of his seminal work, The Federal Income Taxation of Corporations, Partnerships, Limited Liability Companies, and Their Owners (now in its 6th edition), Professor Jeffrey Kwall brings his innovative perspective to a new cornerstone text: The Federal Income Taxation of Individuals: An Integrated Approach. Part of Foundation Press’s forward-thinking Doctrine and Practice Series, this book offers a fresh, student-centered approach to teaching individual income tax law.
Designed with today’s law students in mind, the text fully incorporates the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and blends traditional materials with a curated set of contemporary cases featuring thought-provoking fact patterns. It supports a wide range of learning styles through:
- Clear, explanatory narrative and notes
- Detailed examples and problems
- Dozens of text boxes with insights, practice pointers, online references, discussion prompts, and real-world applications
A key aim of the book is to introduce students to the practical realities of tax law and to elevate awareness around quality of practice—reinforcing the recurring theme that economic substance often trumps tax outcomes.
Structure and Coverage
The book is organized into 18 chapters, ideal for a three- or four-credit introductory income tax course:
- Chapter 1: Introduction
- Chapters 2–8: Gross Income—explored through familiar economic relationships (e.g., employer-employee, donor-donee, borrower-lender)
- Chapters 9–10: Deductions—with a focus on classification and its impact
- Chapters 11–14: Timing—addressing deferrals, recognition, and the time value of money
- Chapters 15–16: Tax Rates—covering income assignment, capital gains/losses, and dividends
- Chapter 17: Alternative Minimum Tax
- Chapter 18: Introduction to Corporate and Partnership Taxation—priming students for advanced courses
Teaching and Learning Support
A comprehensive Teacher’s Manual accompanies the text, offering answers to all questions and complete solutions to every problem.
This title also integrates seamlessly with the CasebookPlus™ platform, featuring faculty-authored self-assessments, chapter-aligned quizzes, and subject area reviews—empowering students to test and reinforce their understanding as they learn.

-
Rental returns: free at semester's end, prorated if early
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning it by your semester return date, or after it is already overdue, is free with no deduction. Returning it early, before that date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.
-
Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book by your semester date is always free; an early return deducts the restocking fee and label cost from your refund instead.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it EARLY, before your semester return date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund, the same as cancelling a shipped rental for a refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
