Tax resources galore!

Article Abstract:

Research Institute of America's (RIA) loose-leaf service, which gathers a huge range of resources together, is now available over the Internet (http://Checkpoint.riag.com). The service, called Checkpoint, has an easy-to-use interface, providing access to tax news, cases and rulings, state and federal documents, treatises, and RIA's analysis. Checkpoint is, however, extremely expensive, typically costing $15,000 to $18,000 per year.
