Summary: Tax professionals will descend on Washington, D.C., May 10 for the American Bar Association tax section's spring meeting. The conference serves as an opportunity for top government officials to address recent developments and get feedback from practitioners on the year's regulatory agenda. A topic on nearly everyone's mind this year is the new tax law enacted at the end of 2017. The tax section's chair, Karen Hawkins, joined Talking Tax host Allyson Versprille to offer a look into what those attending the conference can expect. Hawkins previously served as the director of the Internal Revenue Service Office of Professional Responsibility, but has rejoined the private sector as an educator and consultant.
