This is the first post in a four-part series spotlighting Checkpoint by RIA.
Thomson Reuter’s Checkpoint by RIA is a tax research system. It includes primary sources such as the Internal Revenue Code, federal tax cases, and Internal Revenue Code rulings and releases.
Checkpoint also provides editorial materials from RIA, including a variety of helpful resources such as form/line finder, a federal tax handbook, and annotations and explanations for the United States Tax reporter.
Checkpoint offers current awareness materials such as WG&L Journals and the Federal Taxes Weekly Alert Newsletter.
Finally, Checkpoint gives the user the ability to make notes, save folders, and flag pages using the icons at the top of the screen.
