Description

As a tax professional, you are used to advising clients on year-end tax matters. 2021 is no exception. However, considering all the extraordinary issues that your clients have faced in these past few years, year- end planning for 2021 will be much more significant. The House Ways and Means Committee has released a report entitled “Responsibly Funding Our Priorities”. It includes proposed international, corporate, individual and retirement tax “reforms”. This course will provide you with a complete understanding of this proposal as well as integrated planning ideas that will direct your client’s year-end needs. The materials will include all updates in existence at the time of the lecture. In addition, we will opine on the probability of this proposal passing as law.
