Where can I locate corporate annual reports and tax filings?
I want to do research on certain corporations' annual reports and see their tax returns. I understand neither are considered proprietary but part of the public record, but don't know where to locate this information. Please advise.

Steve D:  Annual reports are usually available on the company's web site under Investor Relations. If not t here, you can call the investor's relations department and request copies of the annual reports. SEC filings can be found by using EDGAR, the SEC's electronic database. Tax returns are not public records - there was some discussion in the early years of this century about making portions of the tax returns public, but nothing ever happened.
