Description

Join us for an engaging and comprehensive overview of recent legislative tax changes encompassed in the latest major federal package—nicknamed the "One Big Bill." This course will break down the most impactful provisions affecting individuals, businesses, and tax practitioners. We will analyze the intent behind the legislation, practical implications for compliance and planning, and identify opportunities and pitfalls for clients and advisors alike.
