The Tax Legislative Process — Being in the Right Place at the Right Time

Jim Schlesser (host), Mark Garay, Jeff Kummer and John Barrick, Accountant, Joint Committee on Taxation, United States Congress

In 2010 and 2011, the U.S. Tax Code will undergo monumental changes. What is driving these changes and what does it mean for young tax professionals? We'll discuss:

• Factors influencing tax law changes, including expiration of current tax cuts, national health care reform, and changes in energy production and consumption.
• The interplay between tax policy and legislation, including case studies and the role of lobbying.
• The importance of staff behind the scenes, including the Joint Committee on Taxation's role in revenue-estimating and as technical resources for Congressional tax-writing committees.

Understand the fundamental shift taking place in federal tax laws and how young tax professionals can benefit.
