Haas, who is a co-chair of the IPT's Advanced Income Tax Seminar Committee is the moderator for two related sessions entitled "Fair Apportionment: (Part I) What is It?" and "Fair Apportionment (Part II) Now That We Know What It Is, How Do We Prove It?" Haas, a Partner in the firm's Tax Appeals Department, was recently named by State Tax Notes magazine to its "All-Decade State Tax Team."

Her practice also focuses on managing state income, value-added, sales and use tax issues for business entities.
