Course Description
It’s been over two years since the largest tax reform bill in 30 years was passed by Congress and signed into law by the President. Tax reform is our new reality, yet the IRS is only part way through writing the rules to implement it. During this webinar, we will summarize what the IRS has said, what they are thinking about saying and what they still need to say about the new law, as well as how this affects your 2019 return and future planning. We will also explore potential refund opportunities created by the December extender legislation and the new changes to the IRA and pension rules. Is your business aware and prepared for the changes impacting you?

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss how tax reform is being implemented.
• Identify business impacts and opportunities.
• Review possible action steps.
