Mid-day Program: DOING WELL BY DOING GOOD: POLICY BASED STATE TAX CREDIT PARTNERSHIP – From the IRS "Dirty Dozen List" to vindication, one group of State tax credit partnerships persevered in proving they serve important public purposes: the Tax Court now recognizes that those purposes constitute legitimate partnership purposes and not the Section 707 disguised "sale" of credits. The defense of Virginia Historic Tax Credit – 2001, L.P. outlines how you should handle what has become an essential element of planning for all high income individual residents and corporations that do business in States which offer such inducements.
Sponsored by Chamberlain, Hrdlicka White, Williams & Martin and presented by Hale E. Sheppard, Shareholder - Chamberlain, Hrdlicka, White, Williams & Martin; Daniel A. Gecker, Principal - Urban Development Associates, L.L.C. and William F. Machen, Partner - Holland & Knight, LLP.

THE CRYSTAL BALL IS BROKEN: A VIEW OF THE UNCERTAIN ECONOMIC AND LEGISLATIVE LANDSCAPE – The federal government faces a sea of red ink. Even if the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire in their entirety, revenues will fall short of what is needed. At the same time, there are concerns that raising taxes could blunt the continuing economic recovery and a reluctance to hike taxes on the vast majority of the public. What will happen with expiring tax provisions and where will Congress look for revenue to plug the gaps? A critical examination of tax legislation and the legislative process in 2010 that will provide insights on what to expect with regard to future legislation and how it may impact your clients and your practice.

THE STATES ARE AFTER YOUR CLIENTS: WHAT CAN YOU DO? – State governments are as revenue starved as the federal government and have limited ability to issue debt. What do the states' efforts to close the revenue gap mean for you and your clients? This program will explore various actions of state revenue authorities such as aggressive audits, penalty assertions, and novel theories to assert taxing jurisdiction, as well as so-called amnesty programs and increased use of state-to-state exchange of information agreements.
