Tax legislation continues to challenge tax planners, forcing us to keep track of multiyear changes, such as when certain provisions expire and others phase in. Careful tax planners must weigh current rules with an eye toward the future. Learn to chart alternatives and guide clients (and yourself) through these precarious tax times. Planning is a year-round process, and this session is loaded with ideas you can use throughout the year to save money. We'll demystify AMT, plan for charitable giving, explore tax-saving strategies for real estate owners and investors, and much more. Working systematically through Form 1040, participants will receive ideas on how to reduce taxes through advance planning.
