The Planning Guide is designed to be used in direct conjunction with The Law of Tax-Exempt Organizations, Ninth Edition (April 2007), which summarizes the law of tax-exempt organizations as such (its purpose is not to provide planning guidance). The Planning Guide offers professionals that are representing and advising tax-exempt organizations with a wide variety of practical planning tips and guidance and similar information that they can use in performing their services. The two books are to be used in tandem. There will be a minimum of overlap of information. Each chapter in the Planning Guide will contain appropriate cross-references to the related material in The Law of Tax-Exempt Organizations.
