What ACCT 618 covers

Bittker and Eustice's Federal Income Taxation of Corporations and Shareholders is read two chapters a module/week, fifteen in all, beside its companion study problems book, from which the five lesson problem sets are drawn.

Forum threads run at least 500 words and replies at least 450, and the thread and both replies each need two or more scholarly citations in current APA format, with the textbook, the Code, the Bible and journal articles all accepted. The essay runs about 1,000 words and needs no sources, since it rests on the student's own experience.

Where ACCT 618 papers lose points

ACCT 618 work loses points when an essay lists jobs without naming the research tools and problems involved, when forum threads restate a Code section without applying it to facts, when replies fall short of 450 words or two scholarly citations, and when lesson problems give answers without the computation behind them. Graders reward work that quotes the governing Code section, states the facts that trigger it and walks through the arithmetic to the tax consequence.

Using a ACCT 618 sample well

The essay sample is written in the voice of a composite staff accountant; the forum samples apply the Code, Treasury regulations, appellate decisions and published research to composite corporations and shareholders.
