Learning Objective

  • To identify the parts and schedules of the most recent Form 1040 and the flow of information.
  •  To explain to financial planners how to navigate the form to reveal essential information about the client.
  • To explore on a line-by-line basis the items of income, deductions, credits, and tax calculations that give a clear understanding of how each might impact the client’s financial plan.
  • To review the way, the tax rate schedules are applied to the taxable income of the taxpayer to effect appropriate tax and financial planning.
  • To summarize updates on recent legislation that affect the filing of current returns.

Course Overview

The standard Internal Revenue Service (IRS) form used by individual taxpayers to submit their yearly income tax returns is called Form 1040.

To ascertain if further taxes are due or whether the filer will receive a tax refund, the form has sections that ask filers to report their taxable income for the year.

In this CE Tax Webinar, we delve into the most recent Form 1040 and major schedules, providing financial planners with the necessary tools to navigate the form and uncover vital information about their clients. By examining income, deductions, credits, and various tax calculations on a line-by-line basis, planners will gain valuable insights beyond traditional checklists and interview sheets.

Major Topics Covered:

  • FORM 1040 and its general information
  • Filing status of  single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, head of household, and surviving spouse with dependent children
  • Respective line-by-line discussion of wages and salaries, investment income, and retirement plans & social security plans 
  • Discussion of schedule of capital gain and losses, Standard deduction, additional deductions, and itemized deductions
  • Medical and Interest Expenses, Charitable contributions and planning
  • Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, The SECURE Act 2.0 of 2022, State and local workarounds - Pass-Through Entity Taxes (PTET)

Join this course to explore updates resulting from significant legislative acts, including the Jobs Cuts and Jobs Act (2017), the SECURE Act (2018), the SECURE Act 2.0 (2022), and the Inflation Reduction Act (2022), that have implications for form filings.

The planning portion of the seminar needs more time while the history of tax acts may have been longer than needed. Despite that, the information was useful and will be employed tomorrow when I discuss 2023 and 2024 planning with a client in the morning. Thank you.
