CPAs in public practice who assist clients with income tax compliance and plans find that even routine matters can have complexities, alternatives and uncertainties.
This seminar identifies income tax matters frequently encountered by practitioners and demonstrates how the income tax rules apply in everyday situations. Topics are approached as practical issues rather than technical details. General background information is provided to promote an understanding of each issue. Opportunities, problems, suggestions and planning are emphasized.
Many participants take this seminar again and again because the content is relevant to client situations and because each year there is something new.
