Has anyone had their Tax LLM paid for by the federal government? Or any thoughts on how to reduce the sticker price of a Tax LLM from NYU or Georgetown?

Back in the day some firms would pay for you to get it at night. Never heard of the government paying for it.

There are scholarships, but the largest one for NYU would still only be 50% tuition and requires working on tax law review. Accounting firms pay for LLM, but you have yo stay with them for a few years.

Feds will never pay for a whole LLM

Georgetown has some opportunities for full rides (though it’s very few—approx 5-10 students each year)

like

Try UF. It ranks the same as Georgetown (for most years), ranks number 1 for public schools and it’s a fraction of the cost

Government does not pay for LLM.

You may be able to deduct the cost of the LLM if you have some prior legal work experience before you do the LLM

When the IRS (e.g., a RO/AO/Examiner) calls or writes a letter… How do you verify that it’s really the IRS and not a scam?

Transitioning from com. lit into tax controversy?

I have a tax LLM and started my career out of law school doing M&A tax at a big4. After 9 months, I got out of big4 transactional hell and into whatever litigation I could find.

Does my commercial litigation “break” hurt my prospect? How long can I stay in com lit without hurting my chances even more?
