PPC's Tax Deskbooks and
Planning Guides
PPC's Tax Deskbooks and Planning Guides from Thomson Reuters Checkpoint have been relied on by thousands of practitioners for over 25 years
The reason is simple: they provide complete and easy-to-understand answers for solving real-life tax return and related planning issues. Other tax publications stop with interpretation and analysis, often leaving you to determine how something should be reported. Bridge the gap between interpreting tax law and reporting real-life client transactions with PPC's Tax resources.

Tax laws and regulations are incredibly complex and constantly changing.
Tax season continues to shrink as IRS takes longer to release final forms and to start accepting tax returns due to identity theft and other issues. Interactions with the IRS are more time-consuming than ever due to the explosion of IRS post-filing notices.
Ensure accurate, consistent, and efficient tax returns.
