Individual & Business Hot Topics-2 hrs. IRS CPE (A8FPT-T-00113-26-I)
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act introduces significant individual tax changes for 2026, including an enhanced standard deduction, revised tax rates, and an expanded child tax credit, while creating new exclusions for tip income, overtime pay, and Social Security benefits for qualifying seniors with income limitations. The SALT deduction cap has been modified with varying impacts by filing status, and the IRS is transitioning away from paper refund checks toward direct deposit and prepaid debit card options. Business provisions include a permanent Section 199A QBI deduction extension with updated phase-outs, restored 100% bonus depreciation under Section 168(k) for assets placed in service in 2026, and revised Section 174 R&E amortization rules affecting small business taxpayers.
Entity Issues (1065 vs 1120S vs Sch C)- 2 hrs. IRS CPE (A8FPT-T-00114-26-I)
This two-hour CE program helps tax practitioners evaluate and choose the right business structure for their clients, focusing on the key differences between partnerships and S corporations and how LLCs fit into the federal tax classification system. The program covers the practical advantages and pitfalls of each entity type, including flexibility in allocating income, tax-free contribution and distribution rules, and strategies for compensating service partners. A standout topic is the significant estate planning advantage partnerships hold over S corporations when a partner dies and assets have appreciated in value.
