My highlight in July was attending the IRS Tax Forum in San Diego, California. This was my first tax forum and I stayed in a lovely courtyard cottage surrounded by rose bushes at Town & Country Resort & Convention Center. For three days, there were non-stop tax seminars going on from 8 AM and I earned 18 CPE credit hours after so much fun learning the tax laws! I love out of town conferences because I have the time to exercise and time to think without distractions. I walked half an hour every morning and exercised every night. We had a long lunch break in Expo room so we could visit exhibitors and have networking opportunities with 1500 other tax professionals. On the second night, I became gutsy and took a train near the convention center to Old Town. I strolled around the town and accidentally bumped into a Sushi bar!!! And you guessed what happened. I changed my plan and ate there. San Diego is my husband’s favorite city and I actually missed Japan when I felt nice sea breeze on my cheek. The whole convention was such a great learning experience for me but I didn’t even have enough time to experience all that they offered. I would love to attend one of the IRS focus groups, where they discuss various tax issues, and would love to go to the IRS Resolution Room, where they challenge that they will solve our toughest tax case for us. Well, there is always the next year!
