Topic: 

Prepare to take the field and Hit a Home Run with this California Tax Law Update. California has the most baseball teams in MLB. And I think we may have the most tax laws, too - including some just passed and signed in June. We will cover the newest updates to the CA tax codes, review CA credits, dependency issues, income and income sourcing (why are so many athletes CA non-residents?) and review some of those oft- missed CA deductions.

Presenter(s):

Patricia Barron, EA
A member of the Orange County CSTC Chapter, Patty currently serves as 1st Vice President/Education Chair. A believer in lifelong learning, she enjoys sharing knowledge and experience with fellow tax professionals. Patty has been preparing taxes since 1992 and has a practice in Fullerton, CA focusing on Individuals and Small Business taxes. Patty is also a retired 9-1-1 Dispatcher and originally moonlighted as a tax preparer. Believe it or not, the two careers have a lot in common! Her favorite saying is “taxes are about the people, not the math.” Patty has been a public speaker and presenter in both her career fields. She is a regular presenter at the Orange County Chapter including their annual Tax Update Forum, Tax Preparer Security and California topics. As a 9-1-1 Dispatcher she was a lead trainer for new dispatchers, instructed and certified groups in state computer systems access and did public presentations to Neighborhood Watch events.
