Tax planning strategies for now and then

Clients want help with present and future business services. Which tax planning strategies will you provide for your corporate and small business clients?

Course materials are updated for the latest legislation and IRS guidance. They provide the information needed to answer tough questions and show you the best strategies for your clients.

Materials are updated for the following tax changes:

  • Required minimum distribution (RMD) age requirements
  • 529-to-Roth IRA and 529-to-ABLE rollover availability
  • Increased SIMPLE plan catch-up contribution limits
  • The Starter 401(k) plan for small businesses

Meet the needs of small businesses at every stage

Even though the materials focus on taxes, taxes are only one of many considerations that a small business owner must make when forming a new entity.

The course covers common small business matters at different stages in the business lifecycle:

  • Growth stage
  • Maturity stage
  • Late-maturity stage
  • Decline stage

Content for all entity types

What do you need to do to form a sole proprietorship, partnership, or other type of entity? As we address this question, you will consider the nuances of each entity structure.
