Planning for 2017 from a Practical Perspective
Wednesday, August 16th, 12-2pm | 2 CPE Credits
In 1957, Dwight D. Eisenhower famously said, “Plans are nothing; planning is everything.” Things can change quickly in the worlds of business and tax, and an unexpected occurrence could easily affect your plans for 2016. However, while the plan itself might need to be tossed, the underlying process can always be adjusted or restructured to address an unforeseen challenge. This webinar focuses significantly on the tax planning process, in the hopes that a thorough understanding of the process will prepare participants to address whatever the 2016 filing may bring. This webinar will be co-presented by Capstan’s Director of Engineering, who will step through his decision making process, with particular emphasis on how he thoroughly “scrubs” depreciation schedules to maximize tax savings. Featuring new content, the session will also highlight a number of practical examples that illustrate the planning process.
