SourceDocs Adds Muscle to Tax Research

CCH says that its new product provides tax professionals with one-stop shopping.

LEGAL professionals looking for a one-stop source for answers to tax questions will be interested in CCH Federal SourceDocs and CCH State SourceDocs from CCH Inc., which the company says contains the resources necessary to answer questions quickly and inexpensively.

CCH reports that Federal SourceDocs contains the 1997 U.S. Master Tax Guide and a compendium of tax resources--including the IRC, IRS regulations, notices, revenue rulings, procedures, announcements and U.S. Tax Court cases since 1992, among others.

CCH State SourceDocs contains the tax laws and regulations for all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, the company says. All state laws and regulations are updated monthly and organized by tax type, it adds, with a monthly "What's New" section that hyperlinks reports of developments directly to the text contained on the discs.

Each database can be purchased separately or at a discount if both are purchased together, according to CCH, a subsidiary of Wolters Kluwer U.S., headquartered in Riverwoods, Ill.
