attached taxation writing assignment.

Research Project – Fall 2016

Parameters:

 You are an advocate in your role here. If you find statutory evidence that does not support your clients most tax advantageous position, then try to find

case law to mitigate the affect.

 You must provide a properly formatted bibliography that annotates the sources you used to draw your conclusions. A URL is not an adequate

substitute for a properly formatted reference. Check the Tax Research

chapter of your text for examples of proper formatting.

 In your write up, do not quote directly, but rather paraphrase – this includes framing the issue, reasoning from your sources, etc. I will set up a Turnitin

account where you will submit your papers. This tool will flag the places

where your paper directly quotes another source. If your paper is more than

30% from other sources, I will consider it plagiarized.

 NOTE: The purpose of your submission to Turnitin.com is to give you the opportunity to correct any plagiarism before I grade the paper. Submission

to Turnitin.com is NOT a submission of the paper for grading. If you

are taking the course online, the paper MUST be submitted through the

assignment tab on Blackboard by the time indicated on the Calendar. If that

tab disappears, it means you are late. If you are taking the course on

campus, in addition to submitting the paper on time through Blackboard, you

must bring a printed copy of this assignment to the first class meeting after

the due date of the assignment.

 Use primary sources ONLY. The Federal Standard Reporter’s narrative is not a primary source. Look to the CCH database in the UML library for

these sources. Go to the UML Library website. Click on Databases and

again on Business / Management. Scroll down to the CCH Omnipoint

option and click. If you are on campus, you will not be asked for login

credentials. If you are off campus, your login credentials are your UML

email credentials. Note: Standard Reporter narrative is not a primary

source.

 You are expected to do this project on your own without collaboration.  Please be sure to write clearly and concisely as appropriate writing skills

will be part of the final grade.

 Use point 12 font using standard margins. Limit yourself to a maximum of 5 pages, 1 and ½ spaced
