Topic: 2020 Tax Update - COVID, CARES, PPP, SECURE...

Description:

Don't wait until January to try to get up to speed on the new tax laws. With so many new laws and so many changes to those new laws, it's imperative that we stay on top of them so we can answer our clients' questions now as well as offer better tax planning advice. We'll cover the tax aspects and the implications of the new laws and programs -- the CARES Act, COVID-19 relief, the SECURE Act, PPP and EIDL loans, new payroll tax deferrals -- and provide tax-planning tips.

Presenters:
Ruth Godfrey, EA and Linda Dong, EA

Linda Dong graduated with honors from the University of Illinois in Chicago with a degree in Accounting. She went to work for the IRS, where she received a very thorough training in taxes and began auditing corporations. Not liking the adversarial relationship inherent in tax audits, Linda left the IRS and started a tax and accounting practice from her home. She grew her practice to include four employees, but eventually downsized and is now a sole practitioner. She provides tax and accounting services to individuals, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations. Linda has been an Enrolled Agent (EA) since 1982 (ABA) Accreditation Council of Accountancy and Taxation (ATA) Accredited Tax Advisor. She is a QuickBooks ProAdvisor and frequently teaches classes in accounting and taxes to other professionals. She is currently serving as First Vice President of the California Society of Tax Consultants and Secretary-Treasurer of the Wine Country Chapter.

She is currently Parliamentarian for CSTC, Chairman of the Audit Oversight Committee for CTEC, and Secretary‐Treasurer for the National Society of Accountants (NSA). Her college major in Psychology has helped her with the counseling needed to guide her clients. She finds real estate one of her favorite areas of tax preparation. Ruth was an active real estate licensee for several years specializing in 1031 exchanges. She prepares approximately 325 individual, business, trust and 990 returns annually.
