Description:

In addition to the general tax rules that apply to all individuals, some individuals are subject to special tax rules that apply to them because of their occupation, investments, or life events. As a tax preparer, you’ll likely encounter these types of clients so it’s important to have a tax resource specifically designed to answer the questions you’ll face when preparing their returns.

The Individuals - Special Tax Situations Quickfinder Handbook will save you time and money on those out of the ordinary tax returns or tax situations you’ll encounter when preparing individual returns. It covers more than 30 types of unique taxpayers.

The Handbook includes:

• A Quick Tax Briefings in each tab that provides an at-a-glance summary summaries of the key tax rules and relevant IRS materials
• Key terms and definitions you need to know about each type of client
• Tax preparation guidance covering the unique rules and filing requirements for specific types of taxpayers
• Time-saving tips, observations, cautions, strategies, and other preparation alerts

For these and many other specific types of taxpayers, the Handbook explains the impact of the many new TCJA provisions—including changes that restrict traditional tax benefits and must be complied with, and others that present new opportunities to save tax dollars.
