Appleby Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Archimage-I am only a lowly subscriber (don’t work for Panel Publisher) so I don’t have an inside connection. Since your post, they have added the autumn issue of the Journal of Pension Benefits. I will send you the E-mail address for the contact person at Aspen Publishers – I sent her two E-Mails but have not received a response to date. Who knows, with all the E-Mail filters in place, they may not have received the ones I sent. Life and Death Planning for Retirement Benefits by Natalie B.

Appleby Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I just obtained a trial subscription to TAGDATA.com. Lot of excellent resources. I am especially impressed by the calculators. For instance, a customer called about a controlled group issue, all I had to do was enter the numbers in TAGDATA's calculator and voila – the answer was available: Their calculators include : Catch Up Contribution Worksheet Controlled Group Spreadsheet Loan Calculator Ratio Percentage Test - Controlled Group Ratio Percentage Test - Single Employer Top Heavy Determination After EGTRRA 'Bonding Calculator' - January, 2004 And no, I don't work for TAGDATA Life and Death Planning for Retirement Benefits by Natalie B.

Appleby Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 The Panel Publishers subscription is now offered through CCH. Is it just me, or does anyone else thinks the search feature under CCH sucks when compared to the previous version Life and Death Planning for Retirement Benefits by Natalie B.

Lori Friedman Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Kirk, Until now, I'd had no idea that you're the author of Portfolio 362. Very impressive! You provide a very concise and scholarly discussion of some extremely esoteric law. Lori Friedman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Read Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 AGREED - the CCH search function sucks.... it's not very helpful - I can get source, and reference on this forum faster than I can narrow my search down to actually find an answer on CCH....not saying that this forum is slow. __________________ Erik Read, APR CKC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Friedman Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 For what it's worth... I have a very bad opinion of CCH products. I've never had satisfactory results from any CCH tax research materials -- neither the paper nor electronic versions. My firm doesn't have CCH subscriptions. Instead, we use RIA Checkpoint (for basic information, with excellent hotlinks to every cite and authority) and BNA Portfolios (for detailed discussions, when more advanced information and analysis are needed).

Appleby Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Thanks Lori, I will check out those other products. My subscription for Panel Publishers will be up for renewal in a few months-which at this time is $2,000+. I would much rather spend even a few hundred more for something more user-friendly. Pity- I like most of the books offered by Panel Publishers Life and Death Planning for Retirement Benefits by Natalie B.

Lori Friedman Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Yikes...$2,000+ is very expensive. Wasn't there an ownership change at Panel Publishers? Is this the reason for the big price hike? Lori Friedman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appleby Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Actually, we have been paying $2,000 for a few years. The amount is for the Panel Pension Library Deluxe Online, which includes several books. The name change has not yet affected the price Life and Death Planning for Retirement Benefits by Natalie B.
