The New Tax Law—How It Affects You and Your Business


There were major changes in the tax laws, the most in 31 years. Mr. Roth will share the most important of these and how they affect both individuals and those in business.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has eliminated some deductions, while providing new deductions and opportunities that didn’t exist before. Like any major change, some people will benefit, and some won’t, and some won’t know that they could have benefited had they known what adjustments they could have made.

Don’t be ignorant of the new tax laws. What you don’t know may cost you. This three-hour presentation will provide lots of new information that you can use to determine whether any adjustments are needed to maximize your tax benefits under the new law.
