New Tax Guidance on 199A: An Overview of Its Impact on Ag Producers

10/23/2018 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM (CT)

Industry:
Agribusiness

Type: Live Webinar

Cost: Free

You need to know how tax reform and the new guidance on Section 199A will impact you. 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 brought sweeping changes in tax law for businesses, trusts and individuals. While many of the changes are beneficial for ag producers, it’s important to examine how they will impact your short- and long-term goals — especially considering the IRS recently issued additional guidance on Section 199A, clarifying some of the gray areas created by the TCJA. Please join us for this complimentary webinar designed specifically for ag producers, which will provide a high-level and practical look at the impact of the TCJA and the new guidance on Section 199A.
