Intuit Offers Tax Almanac Wiki

Intuit has launched a test site using software for creating a "wiki". A wiki is a Web-based collaboration tool, where many users can add content to a single site (wiki is short for the Hawai'ian term, "wiki wiki" meaning "quick".

Tax Almanac is not Intuit-ive to navigate, relying primarily on searching to get to content pages. It's using the same software as that found at Wikipedia. There's a good search tool and links on the front page to take you into a current version of the Internal Revenue Code, Tax Court cases, and Treasury Department Regulations. The News function clips current articles out of popular news resources.

Thanks to Nancy at Stark County Law Library for the tip.
