Simple modification of complex expression
$begingroup$
I need to simplify
$$
{frac{1+itanalpha}{1-itanalpha}}
$$
I solved it:
$$
{frac{1+itanalpha}{1-itanalpha}}
= {frac{(1+itanalpha)(1+itanalpha)}{(1-itanalpha)(1+itanalpha)}}
= {frac{1-tan^2alpha+i(tanalpha+tanalpha)}{(1+itan^2alpha)(1+itanalpha)}}
= {frac{1-tan^2alpha+i(tanalpha+tanalpha)}{sec^2alpha}}
= {frac{1-tan^2alpha}{sec^2alpha}} + i{frac{2tanalpha}{sec^2alpha}}
$$
The answer in the book is
$$
cos2alpha+isin2alpha (alphane{frac{pi}{2}}+pi k)
$$
What's wrong here?

What you did is fine. Now$$frac{1-tan^2alpha}{sec^2alpha}=cos^2alpha-sin^2alpha=cos(2alpha)$$and$$2frac{tanalpha}{sec^2alpha}=2sinalphacosalpha=sin(2alpha).$$

You made some small typos which overall do not affect the final solution. I will write out a complete one to make everything more clear and convincible. Starting with the same as you we get
begin{align}
&color{red}{frac{1+itanalpha}{1-itanalpha}}=frac{1+itanalpha}{1-itanalpha}cdotfrac{1+itanalpha}{1+itanalpha}=frac{(1+itanalpha)^2}{1-i^2tan^2alpha}=frac{1-tan^2alpha+2itanalpha}{1+tan^2alpha}\
&=frac{1-tan^2alpha}{1+tan^2alpha}+ifrac{2tanalpha}{1+tan^2alpha}=frac{1-frac{sin^2alpha}{cos^2alpha}}{1+frac{sin^2alpha}{cos^2alpha}}+ifrac{2frac{sinalpha}{cosalpha}}{1+frac{sin^2alpha}{cos^2alpha}}=frac{frac{cos^2alpha-sin^2alpha}{cos^2alpha}}{frac{cos^2alpha+sin^2alpha}{cos^2alpha}}+ifrac{2frac{sinalphacosalpha}{cos^2alpha}}{frac{cos^2alpha+sin^2alpha}{cos^2alpha}}\
&=frac{cos^2alpha-sin^2alpha}{cos^2alpha+sin^2alpha}+ifrac{2sinalphacosalpha}{cos^2alpha+sin^2alpha}=frac{cos(2alpha)}1+ifrac{sin(2alpha)}1=color{red}{cos(2alpha)+isin(2alpha)}
end{align}
The restriction for $alpha$ is natural due the fact that for $alpha=fracpi2+kpi,~kinmathbb Z$ the tangent function has a pole of first order.

An easy and direct way is to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by $ cos alpha$. This can be done as long as $cosalphaneq 0$, i.e., $alphaneq frac{pi}{2} + pi k$.
We obtain
$$ frac{1+i tanalpha}{1-i tanalpha} = frac{cosalpha +i sinalpha}{cosalpha -i sinalpha} = frac{e^{ialpha}}{e^{-ialpha}} = e^{2ialpha} = cos(2alpha)+i sin(2alpha),.$$

An easy and direct way is to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by $ cos alpha$. This can be done as long as $cosalphaneq 0$, i.e., $alphaneq frac{pi}{2} + pi k$.
We obtain
$$ frac{1+i tanalpha}{1-i tanalpha} = frac{cosalpha +i sinalpha}{cosalpha -i sinalpha} = frac{e^{ialpha}}{e^{-ialpha}} = e^{2ialpha} = cos(2alpha)+i sin(2alpha),.$$
