tax stuff you thought you knew - supplement to update
Available to purchasers of "Update for 2020 Returns" only!
There are so many new topics this year that we did not have time to review any topics from the last couple years. Preparers often still have questions about topics from prior years or might not fully understand some issues, so we created this supplement to our Update webinar.
This 4-CPE on-demand webinar discusses topics that were new in recent years, covering details that we often get questions about and bringing you up-to-date on any recent guidance issued on these topics.
Some of the topics covered include:
- Parking lot expenses you should NOT be deducting
- Education credits and benefits you are missing
- QBI on rental properties
- QBI deductions your clients were entitled to that you didn't claim
- Entertainment expenses that are still deductible
- Why many high-income doctors, investment advisors, and other specified service businesses are entitled to a 199A deduction that you overlooked
- How to tell if your software is handling passive losses from prior years incorrectly
- What are Opportunity Funds and how can your clients benefit from them
The more you learn the more you realize you don't know, and we think you will find a return or two that you will want to amend after completing this webinar.

We miss you! We look forward to seeing you in-person at our 2021 seminars!
