As attacks on transgender communities around the world continue to rise, BakerPride and our Texas ID&E Committee are proud to host this fireside chat about the uplifting true story of Danielle—an attorney in Sugar Land, Texas who, at age 57, came out as a trans woman. During this program, we will play clips from the award-winning film, “Our Dad, Danielle,” and chat with Danielle and the filmmakers. We will also hear from our own Baker colleagues who navigate LGBTQ+ issues with their families daily.
This event will be held in person in Houston, and will be broadcast via zoom to the rest of North America.

On 8 October 2020, the Treasury and the IRS published final regulations (“2020 Final Regulations”) that address the following aspects of the BEAT: determining the taxpayer’s aggregate group; electing to waive deductions for BEAT purposes; applying the BEAT to partnerships; and applying the anti-abuse rule to basis step-up transactions.
