Posted on: Wednesday, 4 March 2009, 14:15 CST

ARLINGTON, Va., March 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- At a time when states are struggling to pay for services, achieve state-mandated balanced budgets, and not increase taxes, state tax laws are being strictly applied and state-ordered audits becoming more plentiful as they seek to collect revenue. The new handbook from BNA Tax & Accounting, 2009 State Tax Essentials, clearly and comprehensively outlines the key corporate and individual tax provisions of all 50 states and the District of Columbia, making it a perfect starting point for understanding where state tax regimens are alike and where they differ.
