Following the trend of recasting in-person conferences because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ABA Section of Taxation is hosting a Virtual 2020 May Tax Meeting with 19 webinars presented over eight weeks through July 30. The meeting replaces the tax conference in Washington, D.C., that was sidelined last month.
