CCH Taxessentials Delivers Critical Tax Information, Value On The Web For Small Firms, General Practitioners, Enrolled Agents

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., October 7, 1999) – CCH INCORPORATED (CCH), a leading provider of tax and business law information has introduced CCH ®TaxEssentials™, a new Internet-based research and productivity product designed to meet the special desktop needs of small firms, enrolled agents and the general tax practitioner. CCH TaxEssentials is located at http://tax.cchgroup.com/taxessentials.

CCH TaxEssentials provides unlimited use of helpful analysis and explanations of federal tax topics, special coverage of tax planning, a useful collection of primary source materials, practice tools, weekly news and links to further resources, all in one affordably priced package. Performplus™ II, a comprehensive forms CD-ROM, can be added to the CCH TaxEssentials subscription for a small additional price.

"CCH TaxEssentials is designed to be a practitioner’s work center on the Internet, combining the authoritative explanations of the CCH Federal Tax Guide with specialized practice tools, primary source documents, tax news and useful links to IRS and state tax form sites," said Janeen Kopale, CCH federal and state tax marketing manager. "Add an easy-to-use layout and search capability, and an affordable price, and you’ve got an unbeatable combination for bottom-line productivity."

Easy, Powerful Searching, Trusted Content

Working with CCH TaxEssentials on the Internet, users will find that CCH’s easy-to-use searching capabilities deliver what every practitioner needs – fast answers. CCH TaxEssentials takes full advantage of CCH’s exclusive 2-step search feature that lets users target a search and type in their terms on a single screen. CCH’s exclusive Tax Thesaurus can automatically add synonyms into the user’s search, creating a more complete, targeted search.

The practitioner will find a thorough explanation of federal taxation arranged by topic in CCH TaxEssentials. The coverage comes from the CCH Federal Tax Guide, used by generations of tax professionals as their resource of choice. Individual and business tax issues, sales and exchanges, retirement plans, corporations and pass-through entities, tax procedure, international taxation, excise taxes, exempt organizations and estate and gift taxes are all discussed.

For example, explanations of the needs of specific types of taxpayers detail the special rules and planning opportunities that apply to corporate executives, investors, farmers, members of the military, clergy, older taxpayers, students, aliens, those paid by tips and their employers, salespersons and more.

A Tax Planning Guide shows the ins and outs of dozens of special situations and transactions, from choosing accounting methods to estate planning. There is also detailed coverage of practice before the IRS and the courts.
