This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a taxpayer's challenge to the federal transition tax enacted with 2017 federal tax reform.1 What happens if the Court finds the transition tax unconstitutional? And what should you do now to protect your rights to a refund?
Taxpayers whose transition tax inclusion year is open in any state they paid tax on deemed repatriated income should consider filing refund claims.
