Pearson’s Federal Taxation 2026 Comprehensive, of the hallmark Richardson and Franklin series, is a long-trusted resource blending the technicalities of tax law with maximum readability and relevance. Merging all chapters of the Individuals and Corporations volumes, it’s a complete guide to entities, with comprehensive tax return problems, Financial Statement Implications and aspects of the AICPA-promoted Model Tax Curriculum.

The 39th Edition is a complete refresh built around current tax rulings and regulations. Content and problem materials across chapters were updated to reflect tax legislation and subsequent administrative guidance or judicial decisions announced in 2024 and early 2025, as of the time of publication. Real-world examples and extensive hands-on practice will help prepare you to apply tax law to real accounting and finance tasks.
