This program introduces you to many of the important changes President Biden proposes to make in the tax code, some of which may be effective for part or all of 2021.  We will cover proposed changes practitioners need to know about relating to the American Jobs Plan and the American Families Plan.

The program also updates you on the latest developments relating to the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) and its interaction with Paycheck Protection Plan (PPP) loan forgiveness. We will cover the three ways to qualify for the  ERTC in 2021 and how to coordinate PPP loan forgiveness with wages that may be claimed for the ERTC. We will also cover the ERTC as it relates to recovery startup businesses and severely distressed businesses in the last two quarters of 2021.
