Several significant issues that will be covered include the Domestic Production Activities Deduction (DPAD), an update on the Affordable Care Act as it impacts the preparation of 2016 individual and business tax returns, the De Minimis Safe Harbor Election changes of late 2015, the current IRS staffing changes as well as 2016-2017 IRS priorities, and many other relevant topics.

If changes warrant, you will receive a supplement covering the current income tax items of interest, in addition to having access to the regular electronic updates.

The various chapters in the textbook are written by authors with expert knowledge in preparing individual and small business income tax returns. The Tax Workbook is used in tax schools held in 30 states during the fall each year to teach more than 30,000 tax practitioners.
