Training your reviewer's eye
The complexity of S corporation tax law presents a formidable challenge to tax practitioners for accurate compliance and reporting of S corporation activities.
The course identifies the common errors practitioners make on S corporation tax returns that review staff should spot.
Four returns for you to review
Learners can fine-tune their reviewing skills by examining case studies of sample tax returns that may warrant additional information from the client and areas of tax law where proper treatment requires additional analysis and information. Issues discussed include:
- Income and deductions
- Schedule K-1 reporting requirements
- Schedule K-2 and K-3 reporting requirements and the domestic filing exception
The tax return in each case study contains some errors or inaccuracies, giving learners the added opportunity to apply their reviewing skills.
