Many tax preparers receive training on federal tax law – but don't ever receive training specific to Arizona tax returns. Instead they are either self-taught (reading AZ DOR publications or the AZ Revised Statutes) or learn on the fly when clients mention something. This webinar will give you the state training you need.
You will 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. This webinar will be presented by Katherine Gudgel, EA, PhD.
The webinar will start with the annual meeting and all are encouraged to attend. This portion will be no charge so please contact Lin Leclair if you would like to attend the annual meeting but not remain for the webinar.

Charitable Contributions on the AZ-140 - Spanish (Webinar)
Many taxpayers don't bring in their charitable donations because they know they aren't "itemizing" and they don't recognize that those contributions may still be of benefit on their Arizona tax return.

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.
