Tax legislation has never been a one-size-fits-all affair — and the latest sweeping bill is no exception. In this engaging and timely webinar, we’ll dissect the major provisions of the latest tax legislation and explore how they will impact individuals, businesses and practitioners alike. With new credits, phaseouts, thresholds and compliance mechanisms, it’s more important than ever for CPAs to understand the full picture. We’ll walk through the bill’s headline-grabbing components as well as the less-publicized but equally critical changes that could catch clients off guard. From expanded green energy incentives to new reporting requirements, you’ll leave with a working knowledge of both planning opportunities and compliance traps. We’ll also discuss practical implementation timelines and how practitioners can proactively communicate these changes to clients. Whether you're advising a high-net-worth individual, a closely held business or a large enterprise, this webinar will equip you with the essential tools to translate complex legislation into actionable guidance. Expect clarity, relevance and plenty of real-world application examples that you can immediately use in your practice. Please note: This event is a replay of the webinar taking place July 28.
