State and Loccal Tax Nexus 101

Thursday, November 6 | 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM MT

4.0 Credit Hours | CPE4U

This seminar presents a high-level, wholistic view of business tax obligations that include income, sales and use, and other indirect taxes, and why addressing them in total, rather than in silos, creates the strongest tax compliance programs. When accountants/tax return preparers provide their clients support in only a single type of tax – e.g., payroll or sales and use tax – the clients may be unaware or choose not to address other taxes they should be filing, creating risk. By considering the full picture of how tax types impact each other, accountants and tax return preparers can provide more value to their clients while helping them cover all the bases and avoid surprises.
