Taxes in Bankruptcy

Save the dates: November 20-21, 2014

NACBA’s Virtual Fall Workshop (LIVE WEBCAST), Taxes in Bankruptcy, will offer specialized training in bankruptcy taxation. The treatment of tax debts is one of the more complicated areas of federal bankruptcy law, but the Bankruptcy Code offers substantial tax relief to tax debtors. From understanding tax rules to cancellation of debt income (pros & cons) to IRS penalties, audits, appeals, liens and levies, to client preparation and the fresh start initiative, this two-day intense workshop will allow NACBA members to expand their client possibilities and better understand serious tax liabilities.

Quite frankly, this workshop will cover everything you ever wanted to know about taxes in bankruptcy proceedings, but were afraid to ask. Delivered by NACBA to you, in the comfort of your home or office location.
