“A new season has arrived.” Maybe once upon a time, this would be easily understood: Spring has sprung!
But in 2019, one would have to read the room to figure out what the speaker means. It could mean that baseball has returned to our little league fields or that allergy season is upon us. Or perhaps it means walleye season is back in the Detroit River. Even in Winterfell, the winter season ending means something other than no more snow.
And for many tax attorneys, calendars do not revolve around changing weather but instead bend to the almighty filing seasons. For federal and state tax practitioners, pre-April 15th is “the” tax season. And currently, property tax attorneys are deep into the busy Tax Tribunal petition filing season.
Whatever “tax” season you find yourself in, try to find some time to enjoy the “other” season and take in some springtime sunshine and flowers!
For the Taxation Section of the State Bar of Michigan, “a new season has arrived” full of new programming and exciting events. Please see below for more information.
As always, it is nice hearing feedback about Tax in the Great Lakes: please feel free to contact me.
