CEO Corner

Dear Hannah,

 
As 2022 winds down, many members are starting to plan for the upcoming tax season. So much has changed in the last year, and MassCPAs wants to help you prepare by providing you with the latest information from one of our most popular speakers.   

Tax guru Sue Smith, CPA, returns next week to host Surgent’s Federal Tax Camp – and while our in-person conference is full, you can still register for one of Sue’s virtual conferences on Thursday, December 8, or on Friday, December 9. Agenda highlights include: 

  • Timely coverage of breaking tax legislation 
  • Schedules K-2 and K-3 reporting
    requirements and transitional filing relief 
  • Foreign tax credit considerations 
  • The SECURE Act 2022 proposed regulations 
  • State of the IRS and its plans to reduce
    the backlog of returns due to COVID-19 

I know this is a busy time of year for everyone, but don’t miss your chance to get updated on the most important legislative and regulatory developments, and the major trends and changes that your clients need you to know. As a member, you save $100 on your registration to any MassCPAs conference – so don’t miss out! You can visit our website to view our upcoming conferences or contact Julia Ekelund for more information.  

Have a great weekend!

MassCPAs President and CEO
