U.S. Master Depreciation Guide (2015)
Price: $129.00
Book # 9020
Offers tax and accounting professionals who work with businesses a
one-stop resource for guidance in understanding and applying the
complex depreciation rules to their fixed assets. This area is
especially challenging, because bits and pieces of applicable
information must be gathered from a maze of Revenue Procedures,
IRS Tables and IRS Regulations. These sources are frequently old and
include some materials which may be non-applicable. CCH's U.S.
Master Depreciation Guide pulls the pieces together, so practitioners
can make sense of all the corresponding information and put the
information into practice.
Published annually, this new edition is completely updated to reflect
all depreciation rule changes through press time in December. A
special Highlights section provides a quick overview of any new
legislation, cases, rulings, and regulations occurring since last year's
edition, with cross-references to the explanation paragraph in which
they are reflected.
The Guide presents a concise yet comprehensive discussion of the
depreciation rules. It includes:
- Discussion of the historical background of depreciation and
depreciation fundamentals.
- Coverage of :
1. Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), which
was introduced by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and is
applicable to most tangible depreciable property in service
after 1986;
2. Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) introduced by the
Economic Recovery Act of 1981;
3. General rules for pre-1981 property;
4. Asset Depreciation Range (ADR) system which dates back to
1971;
- Code Sec. 179 expensing rules; and
5. Amortization of intangibles, including section 197 intangibles.
____
The Guide also discusses accounting method changes required to
comply with recently issued MACRS regulations dealing with general
assets accounts and dispositions, including retirements of structural
components. A handy reference chart of these changes is provided.
Other highlights include:
- Listed property depreciation rules
- Depreciation of vehicles subject to "luxury" car caps

U.S. Taxation – Estates
Business Succession Planning Answer Book – 2015
(U.S.)
Author: Ann Burns
Price: $244.00
Book # 9129
Explores the issues that arise when the current owners of a family
business wish to retire or otherwise transfer ownership of the
business. These issues include ensuring that the owners have enough
money to retire on, providing for what will happen to the business –
whether there will there be a transfer of ownership or whether the
business will dissolve, providing for who will take over the
management of the business and how ownership will be transferred.
Discussing and resolving these issues within the family can also be
complicated and contentious, depending on the family dynamics.
Essentially, business succession can be broken down into three main
categories: management, ownership and taxes. This publication
discusses the distinction between management and ownership,
exploring the possibility of transferring the responsibility for
managing the business to one child while transferring equal shares of
business ownership to all children. Business succession planning also
looks at the minimization of taxes upon death. This may involve
asset transfer tax strategies, for example freezing the value of the
business while transferring the ownership. This publication explains
how to accomplish these goals.

Federal Income Taxation of Decedents, Estates and
Trusts - 2015 CCH Tax Spotlight Series (U.S.)
Price: $182.00
Book # 8382
At the death of the decedent, a separate taxable entity, the
decedent's estate, is created. A fiduciary is appointed to take over
administration of the decedent's estate. The representative gathers
the assets, files the decedent's final income tax return, satisfies tax
liabilities, oversees creation and funding of any testamentary trusts,
which become separate taxpaying entities. The estate is liable for the
tax on the income received during the period of its administration
and the fiduciary oversees preparation of all tax forms required
including the final income tax return and any estate and gift tax
returns that are due.
This book provides concise, plain-English coverage of these issues
and more. It presents the fundamental rules for preparing a
decedent's final income tax return and highlights the income tax
rules for the decedent's estate and related trusts. Also covered are
the special rules regarding the taxation of grantor trusts and
bankruptcy estates. Fiduciary duties, including liability for filing a
return and paying any taxes due on behalf of the estate or trust, are
also thoroughly discussed.
Among the subjects covered in this quick answer reference are:
- Decedent's last return
- Death of a partnership member
- Decedent's stock holdings
- Income tax return of estate or trust
- Grantor trusts
- Beneficiary's tax liability
- Bankruptcy estates
- Fiduciary duties and liabilities

Grantor Trust Answer Book, 2015 (U.S.)
Author: Steven G. Siegel, J.D., LL.M (Taxation)
A grantor trust is a trust in which the settlor retains control over the
trust property or its income to such an extent that the settlor is
taxed on the trust's income.
Price: $243.00
Book # 8870
The use of grantor trust arrangements has become an important
estate planning tool. Owners of grantor trusts may be shareholders
of S corporations. A number of desirable and sophisticated estate
planning arrangements involve grantor trust status as the starting
point. These include grantor retained annuity trusts (GRATs), grantor
retained unitrusts (GRUTs), personal residence trusts (PRTs),
qualified personal residence trusts (QPRTs) and intentionally
defective grantor trusts (IDGTs).
The Grantor Trust Answer Book will address the following:
-
-
-
The grantor trust rules can be found in Code Sections 671
through 679. Each of these Sections describes a particular set of
rules and circumstances that will cause a trust to be treated as a
grantor trust. Each of these Code Sections is discussed in a
separate Chapter addressing its rules and requirements.
Some of the interests retained by a grantor that make a trust a
grantor trust also cause inclusion of the trust property in the
grantor’s estate. Other interests do not. These distinctions are
discussed throughout the publication.
Separate chapters address the estate planning uses of all types of
grantor trusts (GRATs and GRUTs, PRTs and QPRTs, IDGTs).
Grantor trust issues are involved in the design of certain
charitable trusts, notably charitable lead trusts and these are
discussed in detail.
Coverage of foreign grantor trusts which is increasingly a topic of
planning interest and government concern is included as well.
The fact that grantor trusts are subject to special income tax
filing and reporting rules is discussed.
The role grantor trusts may have in planning for life insurance
ownership, like kind exchanges and involuntary conversions are
also among the issues addressed.

Financial Accounting and Reporting (2014) (U.S.)
Authors: Dr. L. Murphy Smith, CPA, Dr. Katherine T. Smith, and
Shannon Knight Deer, CPA
Designed to present financial accounting in a one-sequence course in
2-year or 4-year colleges. The book can also effectively be used in a
graduate-level financial accounting course for MBA students, who
are from non-business major backgrounds.
Price: $243.00
Book # 7873
The text presents the fundamentals of financial accounting using a
unique cross-functional approach that demonstrates the relevance of
accounting information to the various business functional areas (e.g.,
marketing, finance, and production).
Accounting majors will appreciate how accounting information
contributes to the success of the firm and the decision-making of
every member of the management team. Non-accounting majors
will understand how accounting information contributes to their
future job performance. Cross-functional applications are interwoven
into the presentation of accounting fundamentals in each chapter. In
addition, the book contains contemporary accounting issues related
to ethics, information technology, and global commerce. The
textbook features a chapter, as well as observations throughout the
book, on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and how
they differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP).
The textbook covers the key topics in financial accounting like most
books in this field. The significant difference is the book’s crossfunctional perspective that engages students by showing them how
they will use financial accounting in their careers. The book is also
unique in its integration of accounting ethics, global commerce, and
technology.
The textbook includes a CD-ROM containing ancillary materials such
as a Solution Manual, Test Bank, Study Guide (including chapter
summaries and sample questions and problems), Working Papers in
Excel, and Power Point Slides.

GAAS Guide, 2015 (with CD-ROM) (U.S.)
Authors: Mark S. Beasley, Ph.D., CPA, and Joseph V. Carcello, Ph.D.,
CPA, CIA, CMA
CCH's GAAS Guide describes the engagement standards, practices,
and procedures in use today, including Statements on Auditing
Standards (SASs) and their Interpretations, Statements on Standards
for Attestation Engagements (SSAEs) and their Interpretations, and
Statements on Standards on Accounting and Review Services
(SSARS) and their Interpretations.
Price: $296.00
Book # 8238
The 2015 Edition of the GAAS Guide reflects the latest available
professional standards. Most importantly, changes in auditing
standards and the related Codification of Statements on Auditing
Standards resulting from the Auditing Standards Board’s (ASB)
Clarity and Convergence Project.
This edition includes coverage of
- SAS-122 (essentially all of the AU-C sections) (Clarification and
Recodification), issued in October 2011,
- SAS-123 (AU-C 200, AU-C 230, AU-C 260, AU-C 705, AU-C 720,
AU 915, and AU-C 935) (Omnibus Statement on Auditing
Standards — 2011), issued in October 2011,
- SAS-124 (AU-C 910) (Financial Statements Prepared in
Accordance with a Financial Reporting Framework Generally
Accepted in Another Country), issued in October 2011,
- SAS-125 (AU-C 905) (Alert that Restricts the Use of the Auditor’s
Written Communication), issued in December 2011,
- SAS-126 (AU-C 570) (The Auditor’s Consideration of the Entity’s
Ability to Continue as a Going Concern), issued in July 2012, and
- SAS-127 (AU-C 600 and AU-C 800) (Omnibus Statement on
Auditing Standards—2013), issued in January 2013.
SAS-122 is particularly noteworthy as it represents the culmination
of the ASB’s efforts to clarify the auditing standards and to largely
converge its standards with the standards of the International
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). Designated by the
new “AU-C” section numbering, the recodified, clarified standards
numbers are the same as the equivalent ISA numbers for clarified
SASs that are based on equivalent ISAs (AU-C section numbers for
clarified SASs with no equivalent ISAs have been assigned new
numbers). The GAAS Guide incorporates these new requirements
throughout the affected auditing standards and includes coverage of
AICPA pronouncements for the following standards:
- SAS-127 (AU-C 600 and AU-C 900) (Omnibus Statement on
Auditing Standards—2013)
- SSAE-17 (AT 301) (Reporting on Compiled Prospective Financial
Statements When the Practitioner’s Independence Is Impaired)
- SSARS-20 (Revised Applicability of Statements on Standards for
Accounting and Review Services)
All the exhibit materials in the book appear on the accompanying
CD-ROM. All the sample letters, reports, and checklists found in this
guide can be printed and customized to meet all your auditing,
attestation, compilation, and review engagement needs.
The GAAS Guide meets accounting industry standards as overseen
by the AICPA's peer review system (the book reproduces a letter by
the book's peer reviewer).

Governmental GAAP Practice Manual (2015) (U.S.)
Author: Eric S. Berman, CPA
Price: $366.00
Book # 8856
Demonstrates in a detailed manner how a governmental entity can
implement the complex standards established by GASB-34 and
beyond through a worksheet approach. (A companion publication,
Governmental GAAP Guide, discusses financial accounting and
reporting standards necessary to prepare the basic external financial
statements of a governmental entity.) The emphasis of
Governmental GAAP Practice Manual is on the process of preparing
financial statements.
Chapter 1 of the Governmental GAAP Practice Manual provides a
detailed analysis of the interrelationship between the modified
accrual basis of accounting and the accrual basis of accounting.
Included is a comprehensive checklist of transactions and events that
typically require a worksheet entry. Starting in Chapter 2 is a
comprehensive illustration that continues through the remaining
chapters of the book. For governmental funds, a variety of
transactions are illustrated and journalized in Chapters 2 through 6,
which result in a year-end trial balance for each individual fund based
on the modified accrual basis of accounting. In Chapter 14, these trial
balances are used as the basis for developing the information needed
to prepare the fund financial statements. Chapter 16 illustrates the
worksheet methodology for converting the information to the
accrual basis.
A similar approach is used for proprietary funds and fiduciary funds.
In Chapter 16 the basic financial statements (including the fund
financial statements and government-wide statements) are prepared
based on the information developed in Chapter 13 and Chapter 14.
Chapter 17 provides a discussion of note disclosure concepts and a
listing of the required note disclosures applicable to state and local
government financial statements. Chapter 18 discusses and develops
information related to management's discussion and analysis and
other required supplementary information. Chapter 19 illustrates
combining financial statements that are presented as part of
supplementary information included in a governmental entity's
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Chapter 20 provides the
preparers of financial statements with an in-depth review of the
statistical section of the CAFR.
