UPCOMING COURSES WITH

Mark Soukup It appears that Congress will not initiate any significant changes to the Tax Code for 2016. Unfortunately (or fortunately based on your perspective) the IRS and the Tax Court have been churning out rulings, procedures, and regulations in bulk. Many of these new rulings and regulations will have a significant impact on your clients and the management of your practice. Here are some of the changes: 1. Hobby Losses – The tax court has issued several new rulings on horse operations, jets, planes, and automobiles

lessors

2. Taxpayer reimbursements for corporations to claim charitable deductions – a favorable ruling for your clients

5. Research and Development – the new rules give some tremendous opportunities to small businesses for tax planning in this area.

4. Uniform Deductions – or really lack of a deduction

3. Passive Loss – new rules for S corporation

6. Capitalization and Repair rules - the IRS is still issuing some clarifications that will be important for all your business clients no matter how small the business. 7. Partnership Basis – New rules on allocation of basis 8. Revised Forms – IRS has changed rules on filing several of its forms

COCPA Registration Policies Member Discount As a member, you may register at a 30% discounted, member rate for all COCPA-sponsored courses or conferences (except seminars that are co-sponsored with other organizations). The member/nonmember fees are listed in the course schedule in the back of each QuickSearch. Walk-ins You are welcome to walk-in to a class without registering in advance; however, regardless of membership status, you will be charged the nonmember fee. Walk-ins are admitted as classroom space and materials permit. Registration and Payment Information Registering has never been easier. You may register and pay for any CPE seminar or conference by: 303-773-2877 or 800-523-9082 303-773-6344 Colorado Society of CPAs 7887 E Belleview Ave., Suite 200 Englewood, CO 80111 www.cocpa.org All registrants must prepay in full before admittance to any program. Any outstanding registration fees from the prior year must be paid in order to be eligible for current course registration. We accept several methods of payment: cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover.

Materials Course materials are ordered based upon the number of prepaid registrants for each course. At the first break, any extra manuals available will be distributed to walk-ins. Advance Preparation Most courses do not require advance preparation. In the few cases where advance preparation is recommended, it is noted in the course listing found online. Date/Location Changes and Cancellations Our goal is to have as few changes or cancellations to our course schedule as possible but, occasionally, emergencies or enrollment numbers dictate otherwise. In the event that we must reschedule, relocate, or cancel a course for which you are preregistered, you will be notified immediately. We know how busy your travel and work schedules can be, so we guarantee you seven days’ notice (prior to the presentation date) of the cancellation of any course. Please keep this in mind when making airline reservations to avoid travel cancellation penalties. CPE courses are rarely cancelled due to poor weather conditions. However, if you are unable to attend a course due to weather, please call the member services Department immediately at 303773-2877 or 800-523-9082 so we can notify the instructor as well as assist you with finding another course to take.

Special Requests We are committed to providing exceptional service to our members and will try to honor all special requests. However, we can not guarantee them. If you have a special request, please email Pamela Galey-Coleman at pamela@cocpa.org with the name, date, and location of the course for which you have registered and a description of your specific needs. Carpooling As part of our commitment to our members, we extend a carpooling service. Simply contact the member services department at 303-773-2877 and we will help you find someone from your area who has registered for a particular course and with whom you might share a ride. Cellular Telephones All participants who bring cellular telephones to class will need to keep them turned off. This ensures an optimum learning environment for all program participants. Individuals who need to receive calls should leave the classroom to await the call. Miscellaneous The opinions expressed by discussion leaders and panelists are not necessarily those of the Colorado Society of CPAs. The prices, dates, and locations of the presentations listed in COCPA publications are subject to change without notice. The COCPA reserves the right to make speaker substitutions at any time without notice.
