by American Bar Association

The American Bar Association (ABA) 2023 May Tax Meeting, held from May 4 to 6, 2023, in Washington, D.C., is a premier event organized by the ABA Section of Taxation. This gathering brings together tax professionals and government officials to discuss the latest developments in federal, state, and local tax policies.

The meeting features a comprehensive agenda covering a wide range of topics, including corporate taxation, estate planning, employee benefits, and international tax issues. Notable sessions include discussions on the complexities of inbound investment fund formation, the ethics of using AI tools like ChatGPT in legal practice, and the practical considerations for conducting remote trials in the U.S. Tax Court.

Attendees have the opportunity to engage with leading experts through panel discussions and presentations. For instance, a panel titled "The Great SALT Trivia 'Game Show' on Trends and Developments on Cost of Performance and Market-Based Sourcing" offers an interactive way to learn about state and local tax issues.

This event is ideal for tax attorneys, accountants, and other professionals seeking to stay informed about the evolving tax landscape and to network with peers in the field.
