Bloomberg BNA Executive Editor, George Farrah notes that "BNA is continually striving to meet the changing needs of our core audience through the addition of mobile apps for our signature products.

For practitioners who prefer to use an iPad or iPhone when researching specific federal tax issues, Tax Essentials: Individuals offers enhanced tables that are viewable on one screen rather than multiple text pages; bookmarks for easy content retrieval; easy-to-use note-taking capabilities; integrated hyperlinked Table of Contents; and quick searches with a comprehensive index.

• income, deductions, and credits
• income tax accounting
• alternative minimum tax
• filing requirements and deadlines
• audit procedures
• penalties
• reportable transactions
• deferred compensation
• international taxation issues

Based on the 2012 print version of Tax Essentials: Individuals, the eBook includes a description of significant individual and small business tax relief provided by two pieces of legislation enacted late in 2010—the Small Business Jobs Act and the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization Act—as well as the relevant provisions of the 3% Withholding Repeal and Job Creation Act, enacted on November 21, 2011.
