The session will look at developments that have taken place over the past month in taxes and related areas. We will look at the hundreds of pages of final and proposed regulations related to the §163(j) business interest deduction to see what has changed from the 2018 proposed regulations we have been working with. As well, we'll discuss the status of new legislation Congress has been considering to provide additional COVID-19 relief, including possible expansion of the employee retention credit and a second PPP loan program. We'll also look at other IRS rulings, FAQs and court cases that impact federal taxes occurring up to the day of the session.
