John Fletcher, a partner on the state and local tax team in the Jackson office, served as a panelist at the Council on State Taxation's 2026 Spring Meeting and Audit Session on April 21, 2026, in Coral Gables, Florida. John's panel "Conformity Chaos? Corporate Income Tax Issues Resulting from H.R. 1" focused on the significant changes to the taxation of corporations, both at the federal and state levels, made by H.R. 1. He addressed practical compliance, risk management, and planning challenges resulting from decoupling from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and how taxpayers will need to navigate laws and rules between the federal and state tax regimes.
