HOW TO TELL A PRACTITIONER FROM AN ACADEMIC

May 02, 2005

The TaxProf celebrates the passing of the statute of limitations on his 2001 returns.

The running of the three-year statute on returns is indeed a joyous event. For non-extended returns that don't have something really ugly in them, the statute for 2001 expired April 15.

The filing of a timely 1040 distinguishes the tax academic from the practitioner. For real practitioners, the statute doesn't expire until at least August, as we routinely extend our own returns. Some of us are on the hook until October 15, the three-year anniversary of the expiration of our second 2001 extension.

Also, practitioners aren't likely to attend something like this:

4 - 5 p.m Panel Moderator: Wendy Gerzog, Baltimore School of Law (visiting at Seattle University School of Law)

Anthony C. Infanti, University of Pittsburgh School of Law
Everyday Law for Gays and Lesbians (and Those Who Care About Them)

Nancy Shurtz, University of Oregon School of Law
Queer Theory and the Quest for the Essential Taxpayer

From 4-5 p.m., real practioners are on the golf course or at the bar at continuing education events...
