This two CPE hour course, the third in the series, covers compensation and fringe benefits. Tax developments, including the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, and other tax legislation, IRS pronouncements, and court decisions, are extensive. They impact 2022 tax year returns that will be filed during the 2023 filing season and refund opportunities for earlier, “open” years; as well as point the way to strategic planning in 2023 and beyond. This course brings the tax preparer "up-to-speed" in preparing 2022 tax returns for the 2023 filing season.
