In this course package, we'll cover some of the most important topics for tax preparers to stay current on. The first course focuses on other forms of income and how to report them. The course is a thorough resource containing other forms of income in three parts. Part one includes income reporting information for bartering and canceled debts. The second part discusses what is required for income received from being a host or hostess, proceeds from life insurance, partnership and S corporation income, rent and personal property, and repayments. Lastly, in part three, we'll discuss income from alimony, bribes, court awards and damages, royalties, unemployment, and public assistance benefits to name a few.
The second course contains important federal tax updates for 2021, and reviews important information on filing tax returns. The course begins with a general update of inflation adjustments for 2021. This section focuses on standard deductions and tax rates. The session continues with a thorough explanation of filing information, including due dates, methods, forms, who must file, and extensions. Refunds, amounts owed, and recordkeeping are other pertinent topics for review, as well as amending mistakes on returns and penalties for violating filing rules.
The next course focuses on various types of "misc" taxes. We first start with the Alternative Minimum Tax and form 6251. The course then moves on to discuss the process of declaring dependents for tax purposes, both minors and other relatives. We wrap up the course by discussing estimated taxes, FICA, and the Affordable Care Act credits.
The following class starts with an explanation of recording and reporting tip income, including how to assist those clients who must report. Investment income is then considered, including the types of debt instruments, the taxable interest on those instruments, and how to report investment income.
The session continues with a topic shift to the sale and exchange of capital assets. In order to understand the taxable portions of those sales and exchanges, the course gives a thorough review of cost basis and how to determine the basis of real property, as well as adjustments to basis. From there, taxable and nontaxable exchanges are addressed and compared. This section encompasses the sale of property, including the exchange of capital assets.
Lastly, reporting the sale of a home is covered to allow practitioner's to assist clients with this common exchange. This course closes with an overview of how to report capital gains and losses, including updated capital gain tax rates for 2021.
Our final class presents a thorough review of Treasury Department Circular 230. The course opens by establishing a general understanding of both Circular 230 and ethics as a whole. The subsequent topics comprise the bulk of the course, beginning with the ethical duties and best practices outlined in Circular 230. Here, practitioners learn the specific behavior and practices required for an ethical career. Other important topics in our ethics course are penalties for violations, the rules of disciplinary proceedings, and the enforcement of a decision regarding a violation. Overall, this course is a complete review of Circular 230 and the important requirements for practitioner's therein.
