Introduction to the AZ-140 (On Demand Webinar)
This on-demand webinar includes the presentation slides and a recording of the October 29, 2024 webinar broadcast.
Read More
Many tax preparers receive training on federal tax law – but don't ever receive training specific to Arizona tax returns, and are instead either self-taught (reading AZ DOR publications or the AZ Revised Statutes) or learn on the fly when clients mention something. This webinar will help you stay ahead of the game by identifying many of the differences between the Federal 1040 and the AZ 140 and their associated forms as it relates to income (i.e. investments, retirement), deductions and credits (i.e. medical expenses, charitable donations, Family Income Tax Credit), and general tax requirements (i.e. due dates, dependents). By properly preparing an AZ income tax return, preparers can save their clients money. Presentation is by Katherine Gudgel, EA, PhD.
Available until May 31, 2025.

Performing Effective Client Interviews (On Demand Webinar)
This on-demand webinar includes the presentation slides and a recording of the June 20, 2024 webinar broadcast.
Read More
The client interview is an integral part of tax preparation. It may take a variety of formats, including virtual interviews, phone interviews, or in-person meetings. No matter what the format, the tax preparer needs to ask the right questions and be mindful of their due diligence required for the refundable credits or use of the Head of Household filing status. The professional must take good notes on the client responses to their questions, as well as be prepared to scan or make copies of any documents presented by the taxpayer. Finally, an effective wrap-up will answer any questions the taxpayer may have as well as set expectations for the outcome of the return as well as plan for future years. Presentation is by Jaye Tritz, EA, CFP.
Available until May 31, 2025.
