Each year, various limits affecting income tax preparation and planning change. Some changes commonly occur each year as a result of inflation indexing, while others occur because of new legislation or the sunsetting of existing law. This course will examine the tax changes affecting 2022 as a result of passage of the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019 (SECURE Act), the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), and the inflation-changed limits effective for 2022 that are more significant from the perspective of an income tax preparer. Some context will be supplied, as appropriate, to assist readers in understanding the changes. PLEASE NOTE: course content is similar to that in #8140: 2023 Tax Filing Season Update; therefore, we recommend that you should not take both courses in the same CPE period. This course should NOT be repeated if you ordered the previous version (8135). All course material provided. No prerequisites. Course level: Basic.
