The Institute for Professionals in Taxation is hosting an Income Tax Symposium program in Sarasota, Florida from November 12-15 at the Ritz-Carlton Sarasota Hotel.  Reed Smith partners Lee A. Zoeller and James P. Kleier will be speaking at this multi-day program.

The Institute for Professionals in Taxation, through its CMI designation program, is the first to recognize professional achievement in state/local income taxation. The major requirements for the State/Local Income Tax Professional Designation include income tax membership in the Institute, state/local income and franchise tax experience, attainment of prescribed educational requirements, and successful completion of both comprehensive written and oral examinations. In addition, after attaining the State/Local Income Tax designation, certified members are required to continue their professional education by attendance at IPT and other approved educational programs.
