The Charitable Payraise® is a new financial method designed to help those converting appreciated assets to income-producing resources in a more tax-efficient manner. The result produces substantially increased after-tax client cash flow while supporting the charity(s) of their choice. The charitable tax planning course will identify the changes in tax law that facilitated the new method, elements of the ‘Should’ tax opinion in support of TCP, and the types of assets that do and do not qualify for use. In addition, the roles and responsibilities of the CPA, as well as other professionals, to implement and maintain the method will be addressed.

The Charitable Payraise- A Strategy for Better Retirements and Lasting Legacies (Video) (1 Hrs)

Each year, various limits affecting income tax preparation and planning change. Some changes commonly occur each year as a result of inflation indexing, while others occur because of new legislation or the sunsetting of existing law. This course will examine the tax changes affecting 2023 as a result of passage of the Inflation Reduction Act and the inflation-changed limits effective for 2023 that are more significant from the perspective of an income tax preparer. Some context will be supplied, as appropriate, to assist readers in understanding the changes. 

Please Note: This course covers tax issues applicable to 2022 income reported in the 2023 tax season.

Federal Income Tax Changes - For the 2023 Tax Year (6 Hrs)

The SECURE Act 2.0 became law as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 enacted on December 29, 2022. It contains a wide range of provisions designed to encourage retirement savings. Additionally, it brings about changes affecting required minimum distributions, Roth IRAs, and designated Roth accounts. The Act addresses desirable outcomes, including:

  • Creating improved retirement security;
  • Ensuring retirement income preservation;
  • Simplifying retirement plan rules; and
  • Enhancing federal revenue.

The SECURE Act 2.0 course will discuss the various provisions of the Act, beginning with those provisions that are immediately effective and followed by those that become effective in subsequent years. In doing so, appropriate context is added to facilitate understanding of the pre-enactment environment and the impact of the legislative changes.

SECURE Act 2.0 (4 Hrs)

Designed to make the practitioner comfortable with “high traffic” issues, this program enables participants to discuss and handle individual tax essentials. The course examines and explains the practical aspects of return preparation and individual planning, bridging the gap between theory and application. Significant new developments are summarized with an emphasis on tax savings ideas. Practical applications and illustrations are used to systematically explore tax deferral, reduction, and elimination opportunities accompanying return preparation. For example, the analysis of gross income is discussed together with income-splitting techniques; property transactions are examined alongside like-kind exchanges and involuntary conversions. The result is an extraordinary blend of the latest developments affecting individual returns and their related planning ideas.

Please Note: This course covers tax issues applicable to 2023 income reported in the 2024 tax season.

 

1040 Tax Workshop - 2024, with updates for 2023 (25 Hrs)

For most of 2022, it was doubtful that Congress would enact any tax legislation. However, Democrats were finally able to negotiate and pass the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in August 2022. This course summarizes the tax legislation embodied in the IRA permitting students to advise clients on how these changes can impact tax planning.

This course is an overview providing reference to selected individual, business, and corporate tax provisions enacted, extended, or modified by the IRA. The resulting major tax changes carry special meaning to the tax practitioner and return preparer. The course emphasizes a general overview of energy tax credits and incentives, taxes and fees on fossil fuel, major features of the reinstated corporate AMT, electric vehicles, stock repurchases, and selected non-tax aspects of the legislation.

The course is intended to be a resource for tax professionals and staff alike to gain easy access to the most important major changes enacted by the IRA.
