Tax Planning and Compliance with Tax Regulations
The complexities of the U.S. tax system have grown exponentially over many decades since the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) was first adopted in 1939. The U.S. Department of the Treasury adds multiple regulations that interpret the IRC, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) enforces them, and federal courts routinely produce new rulings that add yet more layers of complexity to the system. And of course there is the constant murmur from Washington, DC about tax reform, and a confusing interplay between the federal tax system and state taxation legislation.
Certified public accountants (CPAs), tax attorneys, business owners and corporate financial professionals need to stay abreast of regulatory, legislative, political and legal developments in a landscape where the rules are constantly shifting and changing.

We conduct webinars on a wide variety of subjects aimed at educating and training tax professionals on issues affecting them and their clients. Most of our courses are accredited by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) and the IRS, which provide continuing education (CE) credit for CPAs and enrolled agents.

Tax Planning
As the IRC is changed, tax planning, financial planning and estate planning techniques and strategies also need to change. Let our experts help you understand individual income tax changes involving rates and deductions, how and whether to apply the alternative minimum tax, when standard deductions should be taken, how rates and deductions work for business income tax, how estate taxes work, and application of S Corporation rules.
WiseQuestion also covers specialties in our webinars, such as wealth planning, elder care issues and fringe benefit planning – all issues that tax professionals must understand in order to best serve clients from a range of backgrounds and tax brackets.
Tax Strategy
Any business owner or corporate financial professional knows that taxes must be approached with a strategy. The fact that the tax code is complex can be used to great benefit – with the proper training and commitment to compliance.
The IRC’s complexities are legendary, but the IRS’s incredible number of forms offers comparable intricacies. Tax preparers and legal professionals must have a strong grasp of preparation of Forms 706, 709, 1041 and 1099, for example.Other strategic considerations include:
- Understanding the web of tax obligations for both employers and employees under the Affordable Care Act
- Handing Offers in Compromise, agreements taxpayers make with the IRS settling their tax liabilities for less than the full amount owed
- Corporate and business tax considerations, which can often be the difference between a profitable company and an unprofitable one
Tax Compliance
Strategic considerations aside, full compliance with federal, state and local tax regulations, laws and rulings is one of the most important functions a business owner or corporation must handle. Updates to the IRC and to IRS forms occur regularly. Form 1099, which taxpayers receive annually from employers if they make more than $600, itself exists in multiple, massively confusing versions. And of course tax reform is a perennial major political topic on Capitol Hill.
Representing a client before the IRS requires a thorough understanding of the many moving parts of the U.S. tax system. Let our expert-led webinars and audio conferences help you ensure you are practicing at the top of your tax compliance game – and helping your clients to do the same.
