Did you know that New York is deputizing private citizens in tax recovery and applying qui tam to state tax actions? New York's law is fundamentally different than the IRS Whistleblower Program provisions. Liability under the new law may be imposed on either fraudulent or simply false claims for payment or approval. Moreover, penalties may be extended beyond taxpayers to preparers as well as advisers.

Come learn about the law, the Taxpayer Protection Bureau of the New York State Office of the Attorney General, and the ethics of qui tam practice.

At this program, a distinguished panel of attorneys will address New York's recent extension of the State's False Claim's Act to tax claims and tell you all you need to know to effectively counsel your clients.
