Take a look at the Supreme Court’s consideration of a six-year statute of limitations, and hear from the director of the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility. Legal ethics will also be examined — do the ORPCs threaten zealous advocacy? Hear the latest about state taxes on e-commerce, and get practical pointers for drafting partnership agreements. Learn some lessons from real life on 409A plans and how to handle charitable planning with closely held business interests. The tax section’s award of merit will be presented at the June 7 lunch (included with registration). Cosponsored by the OSB Taxation Section.
