• Information  about  writing  for  tax  can  be  found  at  the  M.  Tx.  Writing  Website   located  at  M.  Tx.  Writing  Website.

Format  the  memo  to  include:

  3. Provide  a  conclusion  for  each  issue
  4.  Include  the  analysis  that  led  you  to  the  conclusion  for  each  issue.    This   analysis  should  refer  to  the  primary  authority  that  best  addresses  the   issue.
  5. Primary  authority  would  include  items  such  as  the  Internal  Revenue   Code,  Regulations,  Court  Cases,  etc.    These  also  should  be  paraphrased   in  order  to  highlight  your  understanding  of  the  primary  authority  and   how  it  relates  specifically  to  the  issue.    Textbooks,  websites,  IRS   publications,  etc.  are  examples  of  editorial  content,  not  law  and therefore not primary authority.
