- Interesting Lives, Interesting Tax Situations
Read More
In today's world, people earn their livings in ways that didn't exist even 10 years ago. Social influencers, bloggers, cryptocurrency investors, van-lifers, professional gamers, Uber and Lyft drivers, E-Bay and Pinterest sellers, game show contestants, reality TV cast members, gig workers, part-time landlords, remote workers... Determining how old tax laws impact these new occupations is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole... In this course, we are going to cover many of these new situations to show where the law lines up and where we may need to exercise professional judgment. Presented by Ryan Reichert.
- California Adjustments (with updates)
Read More
Keeping up with all the items of nonconformity on the CA return can be daunting, especially since the federal laws keep changing and CA keeps on staying the same (mostly). In this class we will take a look at key areas of nonconformity and the Schedule CA adjustments needed to properly report these items on the California return. Learning Objectives: Identify nonconformity items that require Schedule CA adjustments. Recognize the proper reporting of these items on the Schedule CA. Discuss the latest updates to CA law and the impact on CA adjustments. Presented by Shannon Hall.
- Statutes of Limitations
Read More
The Internal Revenue Code imposes time limits on the IRS and taxpayers to take certain tax-related actions. This course will review in depth the main statutes of limitations—assessment, collection, and refund—and use examples frequently encountered in practice to demonstrate key statute of limitations principles. Learning Objectives: Describe the assessment statute of limitations and exceptions to the general rule. Describe the collection statute of limitations and exceptions to the general rule. Describe the refund statute of limitations and exceptions to the general rule. Understand how the statute of limitations can resolve a tax controversy. Presented by Thomas Gorczynski.
- Tax Implications of Family Drama
Read More
Family drama and nontraditional households lead to countless compliance questions when preparing a tax return. Something as basic as determining what filing status to use can stump even the most seasoned tax professional. In this seminar, we will address: advanced tax strategies for unmarried parents; registered domestic partners; community property income splitting; tips and tricks for dependents. Presented by Ryan Reichert.
- California Individual Tax Credits
Read More
Are you making the most of the credits available to CA taxpayers? We'll review tax credits available to 540 filers, exploring the eligibility requirements and unique situations that can arise when claiming certain benefits, and looking at the forms required to properly calculate credits.
