Paul Gutterman, J.D., LL.M.
“While the tax legislation makes some incremental change toward reform, the end product is more a Republican political statement to get something done. The costs are a swelling budget deficit and pumping an economy that has no need of it. While lowering the corporate tax rate was a necessary and laudable goal, the Republican legislation fails to pay for it.”

Paul Gutterman is the director of the Masters of Business Taxation program in the Carlson School of Management. He has expertise in federal income taxation, tax research and communication, and tax-exempt organizations.
