Due to public health and safety concerns resulting from the COVID-19 health emergency, the 1040 Tax and Agricultural Law Update will be offered in a Live Society Webinar (this is NOT a recorded presentation). You can ask questions during the class just like an in-person class and they will answer them, live, as they are able, just like an in-person class.
Our seminar presenters are already updating their materials to include the latest information regarding the tax aspects of the CARES Act and other Covid-19 legislation.
Between new legislation, cases and IRS rulings last year and the Congressional legislative response to COVID-19 this spring, the area of tax law has seen significant change that has been swiftly applied. Will look at some of those changes and programs that will be applied to real life practice and client issues for better or worse.
In addition, for practitioners with agricultural clients, the Webinar Update will touch on issues, cases and decisions in agriculture, finance, agricultural taxation and other related legal practice areas.
