2024 TEI Audits and Appeals Seminar

Event | 09.10.24 - 09.12.24 | CLE Offered

Address

Capital One Conference Center
1680 Capital One Drive
McLean, VA 22102

Offered for the first time since 2022, TEI’s 2024 Audits & Appeals Seminar will examine how Federal and State & Local tax administration has changed after significant new funding at the IRS, including investments in technology, thousands of new professionals hired, and ongoing work on the IRS’ Strategic Operating Plan. These changes continue to have major impacts on business’ tax administration, audits, and appeals - both at the IRS and state and local levels. We will explore these shifts and equip in-house tax professionals with the tools and knowledge to succeed in this new environment.

Offering two distinct tracks – Federal Tax Controversies and State & Local Tax Controversies – the first day and a half is devoted to U.S. federal controversy matters and the second day and a half are devoted to SALT matters and will cover the most pressing challenges in-house professionals face when managing state and local audits and appeals. Attendees may also choose a fully immersive experience and attend all three days of the Seminar with plenary and concurrent sessions for both newcomers and seasoned professionals seeking updates on challenging controversy topics.

The three-day Seminar will feature multiple sessions involving senior IRS leadership and other public and governmental officials (including state auditors and state tax court judges), providing opportunities for attendees to make connections and hear first-hand how tax administration is changing.

The Seminar will provide ample opportunities for attendees to make connections, hear first-hand how tax administration is changing, and get insider insights from the experts. Designed by in-house tax professionals for in-house tax professionals, the programming will be delivered by a “best in class” faculty and feature ample opportunities for networking with colleagues and peers at social events, luncheons, and during breaks.

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
