Welcome to Procedurally Taxing. Our blog will be a place where you can learn about important developments in federal tax procedure and tax administration, as well as occasional musings on general items that interest us. We started this blog because we want to be a site that readers can trust to learn about important developments. In addition, Keith, Steve and I are all involved in editing and rewriting books that deal with tax procedure; we are constantly reading and thinking about cases and administrative developments that may not jump out at the reader. We will highlight some of these less obvious developments and provide analysis and context reflective of our many years of practice in the area.

One of my favorite blogs is Brain Pickings, an eclectic site run by Maria Popova that at its heart is an ode to creativity, drawing on differing disciplines and modes of communication, from letters to family members from authors to snippets of articles.   Asked to describe her blog, Popova in the New York Times  stated that she hoped to build a “framework for what information matters.” We hope to do the same, although more dedicated to tax procedure.

    Congratulations on your new blog venture! I look forward to learning from you! I will direct my Tax Procedure students at UH Law to your site (if it meets the considerably high expectations I have because of the bloggers involved)!

      Thanks Jack! And thank you for the reference to my post on visibility and cheating on your federal tax crimes and federal tax procedure blogs. You have set a very high bar and I always look forward to and learn from your posts.

Comment Policy: While we all have years of experience as practitioners and attorneys, and while Keith and Les have taught for many years, we think our work is better when we generate input from others. That is one of the reasons we solicit guest posts (and also because of the time it takes to write what we think are high quality posts). Involvement from others makes our site better. That is why we have kept our site open to comments.

If you want to make a public comment, you must identify yourself (using your first and last name) and register by including your email. If you do not, we will remove your comment. In a comment, if you disagree with or intend to criticize someone (such as the poster, another commenter, a party or counsel in a case), you must do so in a respectful manner. We reserve the right to delete comments. If your comment is obnoxious, mean-spirited or violates our sense of decency we will remove the comment. While you have the right to say what you want, you do not have the right to say what you want on our blog.
