Financial accounting is historic in perspective while managerial accounting is prospective in perspective. Similarly, tax return preparation is historic in perspective while tax planning is prospective in perspective. The tax advisory opinion letter serves the tax planning function by documenting the current state of law, regulations, administrative rulings, and decisional law in support of planned activities. The tax advisory opinion letter set forth in this webcast borrows its design from well established appellate brief writing practices.
