Intermediate S Corporation

Tuesday, February 9 in Alameda
Law Office Conference Room, 1516 Oak Street, Suite 109
10:00 am – 2:00 pm

This is an intermediate class, so we won’t be discussing how to fill out the form. Rather, we’ll be looking at how to quickly solve the most common problems encountered with preparing an 1120S, and what to do now to reduce the likelihood of future problems. Class is limited to 5 participants, so you’ll be able to ask all your questions.

“This is the best class on S Corps I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to a lot.”

The fee to attend is $225, but reduced to $175 for NAEA/CSEA members. CPE credit of 4 hours available for Enrolled Agents who attend, no credit currently available for CTEC, but it’s a good class.

Send me an e-mail if you want to attend. Flyer is on the website at www.TaxBuddha.com/1120_S_Flyer_2010.pdf
