Overview
The passage of OBBBA represents the most consequential tax law since The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) in 2017. It is now up to accounting and finance practitioners to digest this new legislation so they can adequately advise their clients regarding its effect. This course includes detailed coverage of all the business tax provisions contained in OBBBA. Our experts have broken down this voluminous legislation and distilled its presentation into two parts, each offering four CPE credits. These courses are independent of each other and do not need to be taken in order. For coverage of all individual tax provisions, please see Overview and Analysis of the New Tax Law: Part 1 - Focus on Individual Taxation (NEW1).
Surgent is providing first-to-market coverage of the legislation in a comprehensive but easily digestible manner. We will, of course, bring our customers future clarifications and corrections emanating from the legislation. Clients will be immediately asking about these enactments, and a real-time understanding of them will be critical to properly provide advice.
