Fixed-Date of Conformity: VSCPA Letter to LegislatorsJanuary 20, 2005 A personal letter to all members of the General Assembly Re: House Bill 2411 (Bryant); Conformity of the Commonwealth's system of taxation with the Internal Revenue Code; emergency. Dear Delegate, The Virginia Society of Certified Public Accountants (VSCPA) supports HB 2411 to conform the Commonwealth's tax code to that of the Internal Revenue Code. HB 2411 seeks to bring Virginia closer to conformity by moving the fixed-date forward to 2004 and decreasing conflicts that burden taxpayers and preparers. In addition to supporting this measure, we urge you to pass this legislation as quickly as the Assembly's schedule allows. Although HB 2411 has an emergency clause, if the legislation is not passed until late in the session, many taxpayers and preparers may need to file amended returns to account for changes made to the Virginia tax code as a result of the bill's passage. On behalf of its 8,000 members, the VSCPA urges you to support HB 2411 to move fixed date conformity to 2004 and consider this legislation early in your deliberations. Thank you for your consideration and please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any assistance to you on this or any other matter facing the Commonwealth. Questions and concerns may be directed to VSCPA Government Affairs Director Erin Collins at ecollins@vscpa.com or (800) 733-8272. The VSCPA's legislative counsels are Ralph L. "Bill" Axselle Jr., (804) 783-6405, and Bernard McNamee, (804) 783-6493 of Williams Mullen. Sincerely, John L. Vincie III, CPA LAST UPDATED 1/20/2005
