Organized and sponsored by the Massachusetts Society of Enrolled Agents, it's the most popular MaSEA education event of the year, with two virtual dates to accommodate your schedule and CPE needs. MaSEA leadership will present the 1040 Update to prepare tax professionals for the upcoming 2022 filing season. Participants will learn the major details of the Inflation Reduction Act , CARES and SECURE Acts, specifically the changes to refundable credits, COVID-related deductions, credits and income deferrals, and IRAs. Topic Materials will be distributed in a PDF format.
The same program is offered before 2021 ends and just as 2022 begins. Attendees will received 3 hours of IRS-approved CE. The program will also include 45 minutes of MA updates and 15 minutes of CT updates.
Every effort is made to make the two programs identical, but anything signed by the President in December is NOT part of the December 13 presentation. Those registering for the December program want a jump start on organizers, tax season preparations and 2022 IRS CE. They may require an additional “New Tax Law Update” to learn all that is necessary for this 2023 filing season. Those who register for the January program will earn 2023 IRS CE and might have access to new tax law updates. Folks are able to register for both programs by paying two fees
