Disputes over valuation issues fill the court’s dockets and for
good reason, fair market valuations are required frequently by the
law. The authors believe that approximately 243 sections of the
Code and several thousand references in the Regulations explicitly
require fair market value determination. Consequently, taxpayers
file an estimated 15 million tax returns each year reporting an
event involving a valuation related issue. It is no mystery,
therefore, why valuation cases are ubiquitous. Today, valuation is
an important and highly sophisticated process. Valuators need
legitimate guidance to perform their work. The objective of this
book is to provide knowledge, and guidance to those who do the
valuations as well as those who are affected by them.
