Program Content
This online learning program, presented as a live webcast, will be also archived for QAS Self Study. The program will be available for viewing for 12 months after the live webcast. A panel of IRS and industry experts will present the content during a live, interactive discussion, where participant questions can be submitted. Questions will be answered live on the program or posted on the Resources page.
The program, through a lively round-table discussion and real time interaction with the audience, examines the growth of a "simple 1040" into a many-headed Hydra. The program will explore the tax Forms that make up the Form 1040 family and the circumstance under which they are used. Panelists will discuss the reporting of income and many of the related Schedules and Forms for doing so. Panelists will then turn to the tax and credit calculation process and the proper reporting of tax payments.
By the end of the program, participants will have a practical understanding, through accurate, current, and effectively designed communications, of the Form 1040 and how income, deductions, credits, and tax payments are properly reported.
