The Elkins Comprehensive 2016 Tax Guide is the only source you need to understand the tax laws and regulations, and to prepare your 2015 tax returns. It is written in plain, understandable English, and includes the provisions of the "Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015" signed into law on 12/18/2015 which makes permanent or extends for either 2 or 5 years most of the tax provisions that expired on 12/31/2014 (Tax Extenders). All data in the Guide is cross-indexed to related information on other pages in the Guide.
