Many accounting and finance practitioners have had difficulty understanding and applying the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Accounting and finance practitioners are still confused and challenged by many of the new and extended tax provisions that the OBBBA delivered. Mastering these crucial provisions requires multiple exposures to these challenging tax changes. This program is a four-hour review and analysis of the most important changes from the OBBBA that impact both individual and business taxpayers. This course affords accounting and finance practitioners an opportunity to gain a broader, deeper understanding of this wide-ranging set of new tax rules, to grasp what is new and what is a continuance of prior rules, and to develop deeper planning insights into the many changes that the OBBBA contains. To the extent that the Treasury has provided guidance relating to OBBBA changes, we will discuss that guidance. We will also point out areas where Treasury guidance would be useful and areas where guidance is expected.

Member Price: $119

Health savings accounts (HSAs) are an effective way for employers to provide employees with financial help so they can pay their out-of-pocket medical expenses in a tax-efficient manner. Individuals who are not participating in an employer-funded HSA may set up their own HSA to achieve the same ends. Clients often ask accounting and finance professionals about the mechanics of HSAs and whether they are beneficial. This program is a two-hour discussion that delves into the details of HSAs for those who need to know more than just the basics. In this course, we will explain the rules for HSA eligibility, including reasons why some people cannot be eligible for an HSA. Then, we will discuss how individuals and families can maximize their HSA contributions each year and avoid unexpected tax liabilities. Finally, we will describe what HSA funds can be used for, and how both contributions and withdrawals are reported on the individual's personal income tax return.
