DESCRIPTION
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was a major overhaul of our tax system that has lowered the income tax rates for individual and corporate taxpayers and introduce a new 20% deduction for qualified business income (QBI) for sole proprietors and pass-through entities. The cornerstone of this online continuing education course is that it will go beyond the basics of the QBI deductions and take a more advanced look.
