First Week Assignment
Welcome to Income Tax (and happy Monday on a Wednesday)!
For our first class, please prepare the following materials:
Unit 1A (details copied below); and
“A Kennedy Aide’s Start-Up Can Get You a Tax Break on a $9,000 Sauna” (accessible without a subscription at https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/business/truemed-fsa-hsa-calley-means-maha.html?unlocked_article_code=1.b08.JaaL._RqHheoVwsYI&smid=url-share).
On August 20th, our first day, we will do an in-class exercise drawing upon the readings, talk course mechanics, and the lay the groundwork for how to best approach learning tax law.
Our course will use Blackboard so go ahead and check out the course page. Once the semester gets started, that’s where you’ll find the syllabus, PowerPoint slides, and other materials. This assignment is cross posted there as well.
