Learn to better describe and discuss the tax impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on corporate and non-corporate taxpayers.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the TCJA) represents the most comprehensive and sweeping changes to the Internal Revenue Code in more than 30 years. All business taxpayers will be directly impacted by these changes. Although one of the stated goals of 'tax reform' was simplification, the changes under the TCJA can be intricate and complex, and often generate more issues and questions than they address. Corrective legislation from Congress and additional guidance from Treasury is expected to correct errors and provide much needed clarity. This topic will provide you with the basic understanding necessary to be aware of the potential areas of impact that the TCJA will have on business taxpayers, and how to identify strategies for responding to those impact areas to ensure the most tax efficient result. This information will also ensure that you have a solid working knowledge of the key provisions of the TCJA for business taxpayers so that you can interpret and understand future corrective measures and/or guidance. The changes under the TCJA are effective for the current tax year. This information is critical for all tax professionals to understand the sweeping changes to current tax law and to have the necessary knowledge to effectively and strategically plan or structure their business activities in order to achieve the most tax advantageous result under the new law. The failure to understand the key business provisions of the TCJA could preclude business taxpayers from taking full advantage of the many tax benefits under the new law.
