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 limitations imposed on tax deductions and credits by the at-risk and passive activity rules. The program will focus on determining the amount at risk in an activity and how that determination serves as a limit on tax deductions. Panelists also will examine the passive activity rules, how they operate, and the limitations they impose. In both cases, the panel will explore the taxpayers and activities that are subject to the rules
By the end of the program, participants will have a practical understanding, through accurate, current, and effectively designed communications, of the limitations imposed by both the at-risk rules and the passive activity rules.
