Jones Walker Tax Team Members to Speak at NYU Summer Institute in Taxation

Jones Walker LLP Tax Team members Bill Backstrom and Hugh Seligman will speak at the NYU 2017 Summer Institute in Taxation Conference July 17-28, 2017.

Bill will speak on corporate and other business activity taxes including allocation and apportionment, UDITPA, return filings, NOLs, and credits. Hugh’s session entitled “Post-Mortem Income Tax Planning for Closely-Held Companies” will focus on on the income tax issues that arise from a decedent owning an interest in a partnership or S corporation at death. The topics addressed include elections to mitigate income tax, funding of bequests, utilization of losses accrued prior to death, post-death sales of company interests and application of the net investment income tax.

Those attorneys and accountants already practicing attend to refresh their knowledge and to learn about new developments in legislation and regulations. Attend the introductory conferences and acquire critical new skills and practical knowledge you can use immediately.
