Update
The Section 199A deduction for qualified business income was widely regarded as the most complicated and least understood topic of The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Now, the IRS has just released almost 200 pages of regulations on this statute.

It is critical that tax practitioners understand the details of this provision now, so that their clients can take advantage of the enormous planning opportunities it offers. This 4-hour course provides the comprehensive coverage necessary to understand this complex guidance.
