The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: Lessons Learned

The National Association of Enrolled Agents’ (NAEA) Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: Lessons Learned provides tax professionals with guidance so they can prepare for the upcoming tax season and position their businesses for success.

The second filing season under the TCJA will pose new challenges for tax professionals and their clients. Taxpayers will rely on you to advise and guide them in this era of tax reform since more regulations and legislation were enacted after the 2019 tax season at both the federal and state levels.

Packed with overviews, analysis, and real-world examples, The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: Lessons Learned is your resource to navigate the recent changes to the tax law. This book provides guidance on a variety of areas affected including changes to Form 1040, qualified business income and rental activities, income from fantasy sports, expatriates (expats), acquisition and disposition of intangibles, nonprofits, S corporations/C corporations, restaurants, and state and local taxes (SALT).
