On-Demand WebinarFiling Extensions and Calculating Estimated Tax Payments On-Demand Webinar<h3>Summary</h3> <p>No matter how many times documents are requested from clients, you don’t always get what you need to complete the return by Tax Day. Often, extensions are inevitable. In this webinar, we’ll review how to properly prepare a valid extension. Along with the extension, taxpayers may have to make quarterly estimated tax payments. There are several methods available to calculate estimated payments before the tax return is final. We’ll discuss using proformas to determine estimated payments, how the safe harbor rule is applied and, in the worst-case scenario, how penalty abatement works.</p><iframe src="https://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/pxjq59cn20" title="Webinar preview: Filing Extensions and Calculating Estimated Tax Payments Video" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" class="wistia_embed" name="wistia_embed" msallowfullscreen width="640" height="360"></iframe> <script src="https://fast.wistia.net/assets/external/E-v1.js" async></script> <h3>Objectives</h3> <p>Upon completion of this course, you will be able to: <ul> <li>Prepare Form 4868, <i>Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return</i></li> <li>Determine the tax liability reported on Form 4868</li> <li>Calculate the taxpayer’s quarterly estimated tax payments</li> <li>Summarize the safe harbor rules</li> </ul> <h3>Course Details</h3> <p>This on-demand webinar includes the presentation slides, exam questions, recording of the webinar broadcast with review questions, and attendee top questions.

In addition to NOLs, the IRS analyzes an NOL under alternative minimum tax rules. This course enhances the tax professional’s understanding of NOLs and alternative minimum tax NOLs (ATNOLs). For individuals, the CARES Act made changes to NOLs generated in 2018-2020. </p> <h3>Objectives</h3> <p>Upon completion of this course, you will be able to: <ul> <li>Determine if a business or individual incurred an NOL</li> <li>Calculate the NOL </li> <li>Identify when a taxpayer is eligible to make an election to carry forward and carry back an NOL</li> <li>Distinguish between business and nonbusiness income and losses to correctly calculate the NOL</li> <li>Define changes made by the CARES Act</li> <li>Correctly calculate an ATNOL and the effect of tax preference items</li> <li>Compute the NOL carryover and carryback when there is a filing status change </li> </ul> <h3>Course Details</h3> <p>This course includes an e-book and exam questions to help you earn CPE.
