Summary

Learn about Key Changes in the Just-Passed Tax Act and Practical Implications for Your Clients
The just-passed Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 extends the Bush-era individual and capital gains/dividends tax cuts for all taxpayers for two years, provides a one-year payroll tax cut, includes another AMT patch, extends numerous expired tax credits, and boosts bonus depreciation to 100% bonus depreciation for 2011.  This new legislation also imposes a maximum estate tax rate of 35%, sets the applicable exemption amount for 2011 and 2012 at $5 million, and revives the traditional stepped-up basis regime.
 
This timely and convenient two-hour telephone seminar program will provide a practical review of the most significant elements of this new legislation.  Presented by tax and estate planning expert, Steven Siegel, J.D., LL.M., this discussion will examine the key changes from this important legislation and will explain how the new provisions affect your firm, your company or your clients.  Mr. Siegel, an outstanding speaker and presenter, will also share practical pointers and suggestions on how to best take advantage of new opportunities created by the new provisions.
 
All professionals who advise clients on tax, estate, and financial planning matters will benefit from this timely and insightful seminar.  Time will be provided to ask questions directly to Mr. Siegel via phone or e-mail during the program.
