Taxation

The Taxation Section encourages improvement and efficient administration of tax law and promotes the exchange of ideas among attorneys sharing a common interest in state and federal tax law.  The Section strives to keep its Members informed on current developments involving state and federal tax law through publications and seminars.
 

The Mississippi Department of Revenue just instituted a new Offer in Compromise program. Applications can be found at  https://www.dor.ms.gov/Laws-Rules/Pages/Info-Publications.aspx. 
Here is an article further explaining the intent and process.
