Presenter and Moderator Bios

Presenter: Timothy Goodman, Partner, Dorsey & Whitney LLP

Tim Goodman's practice focuses on assisting employers with executive compensation, health insurance, and employee benefit plans. Tim assists a broad array of employers, with a special focus on assisting cooperatives, agribusiness companies and tax-exempt organizations (primarily hospitals and health care entities). This includes assisting employers on health care reform, wellness plans, and other welfare issues and welfare plan matters (including cafeteria, dependent care, education assistance, health FSAs, HRAs, HSAs, parking, and tuition plans), and severance. With respect to health care reform, Tim advises employers on the new fees imposed on employer health plans (the patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) fee, the transition reinsurance fee, and the employer shared responsibility (play or pay) fee); and the requirements ranging from coverage of adult children and the summary of benefits coverage to essential health benefits. Rebecca Smith has an extensive background providing tax planning and compliance for privately held companies, serving primarily cooperatives and the agribusiness industry as well as manufacturers. She has worked directly with clients on federal and state strategic tax planning, ASC740 calculations, FIN48 compliance, and provided representation before the IRS and other state taxing authorities. Rebecca has also assisted with private letter rulings for cooperatives regarding the Section 199 Manufacturing Deduction and has assisted clients understanding the Affordable Care Act and how it impacts their business. Rebecca has more than 16 years of tax experience in public accounting and has held various tax leadership roles throughout her career. Rebecca has spoken to various local and national organizations on technical tax topics such as the Affordable Care Act, tax planning, and various state tax matters.
