Course Description

The TCJA made sweeping changes to the Internal Revenue Code, and while Treasury and the IRS have done a Herculean job of providing guidance, many of the changes are complex and there is scant legislative history to reveal what Congress intended. Certain provisions of the TCJA will be caught in a cross-current of complexity and ambiguity that may lead some taxpayers to take aggressive reporting positions. This panel identifies some of those provisions and the areas in which controversies are likely to ensue.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify areas of confusion and controversy resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).
