Greetings from the Alabama Chapter! It's hot here and I know I sure am looking forward to some of that cooler fall weather. There are two dates that I want you to keep in mind:

Join us on Aug. 27 for eight hours of continuing education. The Alaska chapter is offering courses Casualty Loss and Sharing Economy. These classes both address issues we are facing today, with questions and concerns from 2018 tax filings. This is an excellent opportunity to address your concerns NOW.

The IRS has posted early drafts of the 2019 Form 1040-SR, U.S. Tax Return for Seniors, and the 2019 Form 1040 and related numbered schedules. Posting drafts is part of the IRS’ standard process for inviting input into draft forms before finalizing them. All 1040 comments should be addressed to the IRS. The IRS will continue to work with the tax community to finalize these forms over the summer and will issue related communications later this year.

Save the date! Our December Updates will be held in Tempe on Dec. 3 (English only), in Northwest Phoenix on Dec. 4 (English and Spanish), and in Tucson on Dec. 6 (English only). More information will be coming soon.

California chapter has two upcoming events:
           

• Aug. 29 - Data Breach and Aftermath Webinar
• Oct. 18 - Annual Meeting and Conference

As your California chapter we take safety and security seriously. Register now to attend a one-hour webinar covering data breach and aftermath. Protect your customers. Protect yourself.

With the National Convention in our rear view mirror, the Florida Chapter is now focused on our December cruise to Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao. Join us on this eight-day cruise for 12 hours of education, ample hours of fun in the sun, some great food and entertainment, and lots of fellowship. Details can be found on our website www.flnatp.com.
