You've heard the old saying, "Nothing in this world is for sure except for death and taxes." Well, that's just as true in the world of litigation as anywhere else. In fact, regardless of the outcome of a trial, attorneys must always remember that tax implications run throughout the litigation process. IRS agents are even instructed to look at the complaint you drafted to help them determine whether your client should pay taxes on a settlement. Do you know what they're looking for? This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of the issues and rules that the Internal Revenue Service has implemented to frame this area.

Please note, this course does not consider or include the tax ramifications of divorce settlement or divorce litigation. Look for explanations of that niche of tax law in future on-line courses.
