Course Description

There is a saying (attributed to Ben Franklin) that says, “nothing is certain except death and taxes.” It is true that these two unwanted guests visit us all. But when it comes to taxes, do they visit us all in the same way?

This one-hour CPE discusses the federal tax system, the historic tax rates, and the impact of tax policies on individuals from various minority and low-income tax brackets. Professor Francine Lipman, CPA, LLM, JD is a scholar on tax issues and has written extensively about the systemic impact of taxes on immigrants, minority, and low-income communities.  Together with Community Legal Aid Services’ attorney Dana A. Goldstein, Professor Lipman discusses wealth inequality and how that intersects with tax policies including matters of inheritance, issues of estate tax, tax consequences of housing gains and loss, and varying audit rates among income levels. 

Learning Objectives:


  • Evaluate the federal tax system

  • Recognize the impact of tax policies on individuals from various minority and low-income tax brackets

  • Determine how wealth inequality intersects with tax policies including matters of inheritance, issues of estate tax, tax consequences of housing gains and loss, and varying audit rates among income levels
