THE TAX UPDATE THAT ACTUALLY PREPARES YOU FOR TAX SEASON

Every year the tax code evolves.

New legislation. IRS guidance. Court decisions.
Technical interpretations that change how the rules apply in practice.

And when clients ask questions, they expect answers immediately.

The problem?

Many tax update courses provide a quick overview of changes but not the practical insight needed to apply them with real clients.

The 2026 Virtual 1040 Tax Update & Review Webinar is designed to go deeper.

Across 16 hours of live instruction, delivered in eight focused two-hour sessions, you'll gain a complete understanding of the most important developments affecting individual tax returns.

You’ll learn:

• The most important tax law changes affecting 1040 clients
• Key IRS guidance, rulings, and court decisions
• Practical planning strategies and advisory insights
• Technical nuances often overlooked in shorter updates

Each session includes live Q&A, allowing you to ask questions and clarify complex issues directly with the instructors.

If you miss a session, every webinar is recorded and available for review so you can revisit the material anytime during tax season.

Because staying current isn’t about checking a CPE box.

It’s about walking into tax season prepared and confident.

WHY THIS PROGRAM INCLUDES 16 HOURS

Tax law has become too complex to cover properly in a single eight-hour update.

This program provides the time needed to fully understand both the rules and how they apply in practice.

Eight sessions allow instructors to:

• Break down complex topics clearly
• Walk through real-world examples
• Answer practitioner questions
• Highlight planning opportunities

The result is a more thorough and practical tax update before filing season begins.

THE BIG BOOK OF TAXES

Your registration includes the Big Book of Taxes, the official syllabus for the program.

This is far more than a course manual.

The Big Book is a 1,500-page searchable tax reference guide covering tax law explanations, strategies, and technical guidance.

Everything covered in the webinar is organized inside the Big Book so you can quickly find answers when questions arise during the filing season.

For many practitioners, it becomes a go-to tax research resource throughout the year.

TURN YOUR TAX UPDATE INTO FIRM TRAINING

Many firms use this program as their annual tax season kickoff training for their entire team.

Instead of each staff member learning tax changes individually, firms ensure everyone begins the season with the same understanding of:

• New tax law changes
• Updated IRS guidance
• Key court decisions
• Planning opportunities

When your staff attends together, your firm benefits from:

Consistent Tax Positions
Your entire team understands the same interpretations of new rules.

Fewer Internal Questions
Staff begin the season already prepared.

Better Client Conversations
Your team can confidently explain tax changes to clients.

Faster Preparation
Returns move faster when everyone understands the rules.

Many firms register multiple staff members so their entire team begins tax season aligned.

WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH

✔ Clear understanding of the most important tax law changes

✔ Practical answers to the questions clients will ask

✔ Planning strategies you can apply immediately

✔ A 1,500-page tax reference guide you can use all year

✔ Greater confidence heading into tax season
