This course offers a survey of the major rules and concepts of federal income taxation. Income Tax I is an introductory class which virtually every law student should take, as an understanding of basic tax principles is crucial for any legal practice that deals with business or non-profit concerns. This class presupposes no familiarity with economics or accounting; no math skills beyond basic arithmetic are needed. Students will be graded using be an open-book final exam.
As with the Income Tax I courses taught by other instructors at Berkeley, this course will focus on the rules governing the taxation of individuals, including some discussion of non-profit and charitable organizations. However, unlike most other Income Tax I courses, this class will also offer brief introductions to the rules governing corporate, partnership, and international taxation.
