A Client Has Died. What Tax Elections Must You Make?
Course Description:
When a client passes away there are income tax and estate tax issues that arise, and the family often looks to their CPA to help them through this process. In this regard, there are several different tax elections that often need to be made, and it is essential that the CPA understand the impact and timing of those elections. This webinar will highlight key income tax elections required for Forms 1040 and 1041, along with other important reporting decisions that arise. The discussion will focus on the practical questions every CPA needs to consider: What must be decided? When must it be decided? And what are the tax implications of each decision?
Learning Objectives:
