The California Society of Certified Public Accountants (CalCPA) is an excellent professional resource for tax accountants who practice in California. In addition to publishing need-to-know tax news, operating the CalCPA Education Foundation, and working with government agencies to shape financial legislation, CalCPA also hosts an ongoing series of presentations, discussion groups, and conferences. We are pleased to announce the next scheduled discussion group to our readers, upcoming June 8, 2018. The discussion, titled “Choice of Entity After the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act 2017,” will focus on business entity selection from a tax standpoint, in light of the extensive federal reforms enacted last December. Not only is the discussion sure to be informative, but better yet, entitles attendees to two hours of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credit. Continue reading to learn more about the event (and remember to mark your calendar). If you can’t make it to this particular discussion, be sure to check back with our tax blog for future announcements about other Summer 2018 CalCPA events.
