The passage of OBBBA represents the most consequential tax law since The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
(TCJA) in 2017. It is now up to accounting and finance practitioners to digest this new legislation so they
can adequately advise their clients regarding its effect. This course includes detailed coverage of all the
business tax provisions contained in OBBBA. Our experts have broken down this voluminous legislation
and distilled its presentation into two parts, each offering four CPE credits. These courses are
independent of each other and do not need to be taken in order. For coverage of all individual tax
provisions, please see Overview and Analysis of the New Tax Law Part 1: Focus on Individual Taxation.
Surgent is providing first-to-market coverage of the legislation in a comprehensive but easily digestible
manner. We will, of course, bring our customers future clarifications and corrections emanating from the
legislation. Clients will be immediately asking about these enactments, and a real-time understanding of
them will be critical to properly provide advice.
