Course Description

Being a tax practitioner over the last few years has been tough! The tax landscape is constantly changing, and this shows no signs of slowing down. With the recent passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), there’s even more for practitioners to keep up with. Now more than ever, you need more than just new code sections hurled your way—you need a reliable and practical way to stay on top of new legislation, IRS focus areas, and key developments affecting your clients. In our Q2 Business Tax Quarterly Update, we’ll walk through major recent updates, including a detailed discussion of the OBBBA’s impact on your business clients, and address hard-to-navigate areas that continue to challenge practitioners. Through discussion and easy-to-follow examples, you’ll be better prepared to answer tough client questions and stay current year-round. Not just during tax season!
