Kelly Phillips Erb’s Summary

Years ago, I found myself sitting in law school in Moot Court wearing an oversized itchy blue suit. It was a horrible experience. In a desperate attempt to avoid anything like that in the future I enrolled in a tax course. I loved it. I signed up for another. Before I knew it, in addition to my JD, I had a LL.M Taxation. With two graduate degrees and an internship at the Internal Revenue Service attorney’s department under my belt, I needed only to don my cape…. taxgirl was born.

Now in its fourth year, taxgirl.com is a popular site for tax news, tax info and tax policy. I incorporate my experience and education in tax law with my love of writing - and yes, being a little snarky.
