CPAacademy.org | THE 2017 TAX ACT: HOW WE GOT THERE, WHAT DOES IT

Lloyd Doletski (Self Employed)

"The speaker spoke in a fluent manner. The information was presented at a reasonable pace. I had no questions on the information presented. The displays were easy to read, very informative and answered any questions, which came to mind . The speaker was skilled in utilizing the displays in presenting the information of the webinar."

MICHAEL GUNN (MIKE'S TAX SERVICE)

"I felt the objectives were met without partisan politics. The strengths and weakenesses, the intent versus the reality of improving the consequences were out of the box and sufficient to capture the American audience. Understanding the legislative process via a policy viewpoint is how we fix our country and solve problems."

Patricia Gellin (Intuit)

"This is another webinar which is a "must". I wish I had learned some of this when I was going for my Masters in Taxation but then again, that was 20 years ago. It was so informative and I will be looking at the CBO and JCT. I am not looking forward to the tax year unfortunately but this seminar will help."

Neil Hesketh (ndh Small Business Consulting)

"Excellent, excellent presentation on where the tax act came from and where it is taking us. While technical guidance is useful, getting a big-picture overview is sometimes necessary (actually, vital) in order to get a handle on where the details are coming from."
