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. Led by Bill Murphy—recently appearing as an expert on the Indianapolis news—this 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.
