    In this concise, tightly edited casebook, George K. Yin and Karen C. Burke emphasize core principles and policies to help students understand the overall structure and coherence of partnership taxation. The book’s organizational structure bridges concepts learned in the introductory income tax course and those presented in advanced tax courses, by offering a “building-block” approach that progresses from basic to complex partnership transactions. By emphasizing the policy choices that lend structure and coherence to the law, Partnership Taxation facilitates an understanding of the overarching principles of partnership tax. Students learn the law from basic source material—the Code and regulations—as well as tightly edited cases and other guidance. Many problems, questions, and explanations supplement the presentation to guide students through the challenging material.

    George K. Yin

    George Yin holds the position of Edwin S. Cohen Distinguished Professor of Law & Taxation at the University of Virginia School of Law. He joined the faculty in 1994 after visiting from the University of Florida. From 2003-05, he served as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Congress's Joint Committee on Taxation, one of the most influential tax positions in the country.

    Yin taught school, was director of a child care center and worked as a computer programmer prior to attending law school. After law school, he clerked for a federal court, practiced law in Washington, D.C., and then served as tax counsel to the U.S. Senate Finance Committee before joining the law faculty at Florida. He also has been a visiting professor at NYU Law School, Pennsylvania and Brigham Young.


    While at the Joint Committee, Yin assisted the Congress on a number of tax bills, including the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 (JGTRRA), the Working Families Tax Relief Act of 2004 and the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. In addition, the staff expanded its ability to perform macroeconomic analyses of tax legislation and issued its first such analysis in connection with the House Ways and Means Committee's consideration of JGTRRA. The staff also completed a major report setting forth options to improve tax compliance and reform tax expenditures.

    Yin previously coordinated for the Senate Finance Committee a major project to reform and simplify the tax laws dealing with corporate-shareholder transactions, including corporate mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations. Between 1994-99, he was reporter to the American Law Institute's federal tax project concerning the income taxation of private business enterprises, such as closely held corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies. He has served as a consultant to a number of organizations, including the ALI, the Department of Treasury, the U.S. Joint Committee on Taxation, the National Commission on Restructuring the Internal Revenue Service and the Select Revenue Measures Subcommittee of the U.S. House Committee on Ways and Means. He currently is a member of the IRS Advisory Council.

After graduating from Stanford Law School, she clerked for Judge Robert E. Keeton on the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and practiced law with Sullivan & Worcester in Boston.
