Year 2020 Tax Update

This comprehensive federal Tax Update will cover all new tax legislation, including a comprehensive review of the changes made by the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, the CARES Act, and the PPP Flexibility Act, as well as guidance issued for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; and other new regulations, cases, and rulings in all areas of federal taxation through October 15, 2020.

The AES Tax Update is well known as a comprehensive, detailed update on not only new tax legislation, but also recent court cases whose outcomes impact your tax practice. The instructors are experienced CPAs and tax attorneys who consistently receive high marks as seminar leaders. You will be able to download PDFs containing the slides that the instructor will use as well as a substantial 14-chapter manual. It is a valuable reference that you will use often during busy season.

This year the AES Tax Update seminar will be available to attend ONLINE ONLY, due to COVID-19. Your favorite instructors will teach alone in our Denver classrooms and be broadcast live online, on multiple dates with various starting times to accommodate participants from all U.S. time zones. (Please see the instructor and time grid below.)
