The Tax Adviser

Published by the AICPA, The Tax Adviser is written for working tax practitioners rather than general readers, CPAs and tax attorneys who need to know exactly how a new IRS ruling or regulation changes what they tell clients. The monthly newsletter surfaces that issue's articles: technical breakdowns of code sections, practice guidance, and summaries of recent tax court decisions.

It's dense and assumes real tax knowledge going in, which is exactly why practitioners rely on it, there's no translation layer between the regulation and the explanation. If you prepare returns or advise on tax strategy for a living, it's closer to required reading than a casual subscription.
