Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA") Summary 2023 - 2 CPE

For most of 2022, it was doubtful that Congress would enact any tax legislation. However, Democrats were finally able to negotiate and pass the Inflation Reduc-tion Act (IRA) in August 2022. This course summarizes the tax legislation em-bodied in the IRA permitting students to advise clients on how these changes can impact tax planning.
This course is an overview providing reference to selected individual, business, and corporate tax provisions enacted, extended, or modified by the IRA. The re-sulting major tax changes carry special meaning to the tax practitioner and re-turn preparer. The course emphasizes a general overview of energy tax credits and incentives, taxes and fees on fossil fuel, major features of the reinstated cor-porate AMT, electric vehicles, stock repurchases, and selected non-tax aspects of the legislation.
The course is intended to be a resource for tax professionals and staff alike to gain easy access to the most important major changes enacted by the IRA.
