TEXAS COMPLIANCE PENDING:

Texas requires a class be reviewed by enough students to assign earned CPE credits.  This course is still new enough that we are obtaining the reviews needed.   We recommend Texas CPAs check back soon. This process is usually finished within a few weeks.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, also known as the OBBBA, is a diverse and far-reaching bill that changed many aspects of the tax code. Since the OBBBA and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act now work together as the foundation for the US tax code, this course will cover both bills and how they work together and intersect. The OBBBA is an extremely large bill, so for the purposes of this course, we will only go over the material that relates to the tax code. This material is found under Title VII of the OBBBA, labeled “Finance.” The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is organized into four primary sections of: Individual Tax Reform, Business Tax Reform, Exempt Organizations and International provisions. This course will provide a thorough review of all portions of the OBBBA and explain how this bill changes the wider tax landscape through its individual provisions.
