The Loper Bright Supreme Court Decision Enhances
Taxpayer Power to Challenge the IRS!
The Importance of This Case and What Practitioners Need to Know
This recent Supreme Court case involves some academic sounding concepts but it all has vital practical implications to real world practitioners in the trenches. The Supreme Court overruled its 1984 decision in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. This decision signifies a monumental change in the importance of all Federal regulations - - from those issued under the Environmental Protection Agency to those under the Internal Revenue Code. Further, this decision reclaims the authority of the courts to determine what statutes mean rather than relying on what a given federal agency (including the IRS!) claims the statute means when issuing regulations.
The impact of this decision cannot be overemphasized, which why four of the nation’s leading tax and estate planning experts, Jonathan G. Blattmachr, Esq., Martin M. Shenkman J.D., CPA, MBA, Robert S. Keebler, CPA/PFS, MST, AEP (Distinguished), and Professor Mitchell Gans to analyze this subject and offer practical action steps for practitioners in this timely presentation entitled, “The Loper Bright Case: Chevron Deference Overruled”.
In this 100-minute presentation, you will learn:
- The effect of this Supreme Court decision on the tax world
- The 2 BIG “C’s” and how they apply under this case
- The IRS vs. The Courts Post Loper – which one prevails?
- What does the Loper case say about Skidmore, why it matters and why even “regular” practitioners need to know
- This case weakens the IRS’ authority when issuing regulations on statues that do not mandate regs.?
- Should CPAs file protective claims for refunds?
- How should advisors evaluate tax positions now?
- What about Code sections that make a specific grant of authority to issue regulations?
- What kind of review will the courts apply in these cases?
- And much, much more!
