Each year, income tax return preparation must take into account inflation-related changes to various limits and new tax laws. This course examines those changes and new laws. The 2022 Tax Filing Season Update course is designed to provide valuable information to persons preparing individual Form 1040 income tax returns reflecting clients' 2021 income. The course discusses new tax law, including various tax extenders, and recent updates for the 2022 filing season, provides a general tax review, and examines important rules governing tax return preparer practices, procedures, and responsibilities. PLEASE NOTE: course content is similar to that in #8035: Federal Income Tax Changes Summary - 2021; therefore, we recommend that you should not take both courses in the same CPE period. All course material provided. No prerequisites. Course level: Basic.
