Join Michael Porter and a panel of Department of Revenue officials to learn about handing Massachusetts tax audits at the Boston Bar Association on April 2.

He advises clients on state income and sales and use tax matters, including contesting proposed state tax assessments at the Massachusetts Appellate Tax Board and through all levels of the administrative appeal process. He also provides clients with tax opinions, ruling requests and general state tax advice.
