We hear a lot about tax reform at the federal level.  Will anything ever happen?  I think so.  There are some significant problems that need to be adjusted such as the system being outdated and too complex.

The annual TEI-SJSU Tax Policy Conference will delve into some key/hot tax reform topics - August 2 from 8:20 - 3:30 in Santa Clara.

Here is the line up of topics and speakers including two from DC.
