ENG2608. Tax Tea with Lemons and Erb (TAX, PRA, EST)

What do you get when you mix one of the nation’s top tax writers with a seasoned IRS insider? A specially brewed “Tea Time” discussion between Forbes columnist Kelly Phillips Erb and long-time IRS communications chief Terry Lemons.

During this chatty and informative session, Erb and Lemons will spill the tea on a fun, wide-ranging session covering everything from insider IRS stories, the latest tax law developments, the state of the media, what really happens in Congress, the best barbeque in the country and whatever else comes up.

This discussion will feature a unique perspective from Erb, the “Taxgirl” famous for her high-profile columns and influential social media work, and Lemons, the former behind-the-scenes guy at the IRS who created the Dirty Dozen tax scams list and launched the agency’s social media program.

Flavoring the conversation will be their different backgrounds and career paths. Erb started in tax and law before becoming one of the industry’s top journalists. Meanwhile, Lemons began his career as a reporter covering the White House and Congress before joining the IRS and the tax community.
