When you're in law school, you often dream about having a case that makes it to the Supreme Court. Tax attorney Rachael E. Rubenstein knows that feeling—and in her case, it actually happened.
Katz introduced Rubenstein to a client of the firm, Alexandru Bittner, a dual Romanian-US citizen, who was attempting to move into tax compliance. She soon joined the team of lawyers assigned to help.
The government eventually sued to collect. There was, Rubenstein says, “Literally no way to not fight it.” And so Bittner went to court where he argued that the correct penalty should be per return, not per account. The district court agreed with Bittner, and the team filed an appeal.There are 13 Circuits in the U.S. Court of Appeals that hear cases from the Tax Court and the District Courts.
