These days, the general view of Congress has been that they can’t get anything done. But when tax breaks are in the balance, Congress understands that their constituents at home will be very angry if they let them slip.

Warner partner Sean Cook recently wrote an article on extenders, the PATH Act and other recent tax provisions which can be read in its entirety HERE.
