Overview:
The "permanent" changes within the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may stand like a lion in the pathway of change, but Washington has a different definition of the word "permanent." Inflation adjustments and technical corrections are included within this deep analysis of the complex maze of rules dealing with depreciation, amortization, and sale of property. With three major acts passed in less than 18 months (CARES Act, Tax Relief Act, and American Rescue Plan Act), this reference manual contains many examples and cases to illustrate the most important points of which CPAs need to be aware.Objectives:
