What’s Included in Every Tier?

Real World Research

  • Introduction to Tax Research
  • Responding to IRS Notices
  • Tax Research for Tax Planning
  • 8 Federal Tax Law Hours
The Tax Research Workshop offers tax professionals a chance to build great fundamentals in federal tax law research. Stop relying on blog posts, Google, and AI to hopefully find the right answer to your tax questions. In this workshop, we will teach you how to read and understand tax authority that you can actually rely on instead of taking a shot in the dark. Once we establish the fundamentals, we will walk you through how to use this newfound knowledge to both respond to IRS notices/audits and offer more advanced tax planning to your clients. In the second half of the day, you’ll be provided with research materials and a prompt to work on, and we will review the answers at the end of each session.

2026 Tax Toolbox

  • Qualified Business Income Deduction
  • Retirement Plans for the Self-Employed and HSAs
  • Federal Tax Credits for Individuals
  • Tax Stuff You Thought You Knew
  • 8 Federal Tax Law Hours
The 2026 Tax Toolbox will cover the most pressing tax issues facing your clients. The permanent extension of the Qualified Business Income Deduction is going to require tax professionals to take a deeper look at the rules, tips, and tricks available to clients looking to benefit from this massive deduction. In the last 5 years, retirement plans have experienced an overhaul through SECURE 1 & 2.0. This session will focus on retirement plan options for self-employed individuals and the HSA loophole. Most practitioners are familiar with the adoption credit, the premium tax credit, and the American Opportunity Credit. In this session, we’ll dive deep into these and a myriad of other tax credits available to individual clients, and show you the secrets that will unlock significant tax savings. We will end the day with Tax Stuff You Thought You Knew, an interactive session that will cover everything from charitable contributions to the latest tax planning opportunities available for your clients. You don’t want to miss this year’s Tax Toolbox.
