homepage; establishing a Facebook presence; and sponsoring
two webinars, “IRS Voluntary Disclosure Basics” and
“Employment Tax Examination Basics and Hot Topics,” both
of which are available for replay on the Section’s homepage.
It continued its tradition of holding joint meetings with other
MSBA Sections, presenting an evening of networking and
discussion with the Immigration Law Section on the topics of
“Twelve Things That Every Tax Lawyer Should Know About
Immigration Law” and “Tax-Wise Immigration Planning.”
The Section also: continued to staff its U.S. Tax Court Pro
Bono Program; provided valuable input into tax legislation
pending before the Maryland General Assembly; worked
closely with MSBA on tax-related CLE materials following
the demise of MICPEL; and provided an opportunity for
members to mingle with tax and accounting colleagues as
well as state and federal tax offi cials at the Section’s annual
Tax Networking Night. It will present this year’s recipients of
the Section’s Tax Excellence and J. Ronald Shiff Memorial
Pro Bono Awards at its annual Irving Shulbank Memorial
Dinner and program in May, and present a joint program
