After much consideration, PEPC leadership has made the decision to postpone our Luncheon Program scheduled for Tuesday, March 17 at the Union League. The health and safety of our members and the community is our primary concern and given the potential risk of COVID-19 (coronavirus), we believe it is best not to hold the program.
We hope to offer our program on "Current Issues in Estate and Gift tax Audits and Litigation" at a later date. Thank you for your continued participation in our luncheon programs and your understanding at this time.

This discussion will address current issues and trends in the transfer tax controversy arena at the audit level, appeals and in litigation. It will include issues related to the valuation and transfer of interests in closely-held entities, the use of formula clauses, positions taken by the IRS and ways to address them at the planning level.
