Tax Partner Andrew Weinstein authored a WG&L Journal Previews article titled "Using Extended FTC S/L to Defend Against Tax Evasion Charges."

Mr. Weinstein discusses a recent development relevant to a March 2010 Journal of Taxation article titled "Foreign Tax Credits: Can a Deficiency Be Retroactively Wiped Out for Criminal Tax Evasion Purposes?," which he co-authored.
