Due to public health and safety concerns resulting from the COVID-19 health emergency, the TaxSpeaker – Preparing for 2020 Returns NOW 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.
PPP Loan forgiveness: the rules, the forms and examples:
They will walk you through the rules, lines and guidance of the PPP Loan Forgiveness Application including examples in order to maximize your clients tax benefits.
CARES Act immediate 2020 changes:
On March 27, 2020 the President signed the CARES Act, the biggest funding bill in the history of the United States. Over 880 pages deep, there is an incredible amount of information, of which fully 50% will affect tax professionals. During this overview class they will discuss, with examples, the significant retirement withdrawal changes for loans, penalties and RMD’s; the Recovery (or Rebate) checks-who gets what, when, and how; the 50% employee retention credit; the small business loan program; changes to NOL and business interest deductions; the qualified improvement property fix; and more.
Incredible coming estate and gift changes:
This section reviews estate and gift tax changes and new amounts as established by Congress. It also reviews rudimentary estate and gift tax planning ideas such as gifting strategies, medical exclusions, education exclusions and gift splitting. An overview of basic gift and estate tax rules and planning concepts is provided in an example form in this short review class.
Working remotely: the how to guide, and more importantly, how to do it securely:
They will walk you through the steps, the software, the hardware and the backbone needed to make sure you are able to efficiently, securely and safely work from home and setup employees to work from home. We include a telecommuting written policy guide and actual hardware and software recommendations.
Planning for clients with reduced 2020 income:
