Andrew R. Comiter spoke at the 34th Annual American Bar Association Real Property, Trust and Estate Law Section’s National CLE Conference

On Tuesday, April 26th, Andrew R. Comiter spoke at the 34th Annual American Bar Association Real Property, Trust and Estate Law Section’s National CLE Conference on “Estate Planning in an Era of Heightened Tax Enforcement.” Taxation of high-net-worth individuals and families has been a focus of many parties. One consistently recommended component for closing the “tax gap” is an overhaul of the IRS through increased funding. In this presentation, the panelists will discuss: (i) what is and has been on the enforcement horizon, and (ii) what it might be like working with “IRS 2.0,” a more fully funded organization, in 2022 and beyond. This panel included Mr. Comiter, Benjamin A. Cohen-Kurzrock from Baker Botts, and Kathryn A. Meyer, IRS Office of Chief Counsel.
