Top Federal Tax Issues for 2020

Get a deep dive into the top 2020 federal tax issues.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, passed at the end of 2017, is entering its third year. The IRS continues to pass regulations in attempts to define, explain and implement the law, one of the most far-reaching and complicated tax law changes in recent memory. Both businesses and individuals continue to face an array of new rules to try and integrate into their tax planning for 2020 and beyond. This topic will take a deep dive into all of the legislative and IRS administrative changes, as well as the judicial decisions, that occurred in 2019 that will impact how you manage your 2020 taxes.
