American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
AICPA and CCH have joined forces with top tax experts Sidney Kess, J.D., CPA, and Barbara Weltman, J.D., who take a straightforward yet comprehensive look at 2009 tax legislation and related developments. The course offers tax professionals clear-cut guidance on the new law, including planning opportunities, pitfalls to avoid and ways practitioners can capitalize on the law with their clients. Helpful Planning Pointers and Observations - plus alerts to changes affecting 2009 income tax returns - are integrated throughout the course to assist you in both grasping and applying the new law. Sample client letters will help practitioners inform their clients of the new law.

Legislative e-Zine by Bruce P. Ely, James E. Long, Jr., William T. Thistle, II
April 21, 2009—Both the House and the Senate were paralyzed by constant filibustering, which resulted in a relatively uneventful week in the Legislature. However, one hot topic was Rep. McLaughlin’s unitary combined reporting proposal (HB 865), which would require combined reporting for multistate corporations and would repeal the existing consolidated return regime. The bill has received staunch opposition from multistate businesses, as well as the influential Business Association Tax Coalition (“BATC”), which has asked for a public hearing on the bill. Both the Council On State Taxation (“COST”) and the Organization for International Investment have submitted letters to Rep. McLaughlin expressing their opposition to HB 865. At this time, the bill, which has been assigned to the House Education Appropriations Committee, has not been scheduled for committee consideration.
