Course Description
We’ve all gotten good advice on recording and reporting COVID-19 employer credits, other benefits and PPP loans for tax purposes, and now we’ve uncovered some tax returns which may have been prepared incorrectly or assumptions we made during tax preparation have now turned out to be inaccurate. We’ll review best practices for evaluating which returns should be amended and communicating this advice to the client. What’s the best timing for reporting these changes? What is the tax preparer’s exposure not only for possible incorrect tax reporting but for preparing the amended returns? Are there any alternatives to amending? And more.
Learning Objectives
