Overview
Whether you are an experienced veteran or new to the industry, one of the toughest parts of being a tax practitioner is keeping up with all of the changes in tax legislation. The Keeping Up the Tax Code series takes a look at recent changes to tax law from a practitioner perspective. We don’t just hurl code sections at you without explanation. Using examples, problems, and plain explanations, we explore a mix of new tax issues and areas of the code that tend to be misunderstood in a practical and straight-forward way. In this session, we will explore the nuances of virtual currency and the new Form 8300 reporting requirements.
