IRS Nationwide Tax Forums are Right Around the Corner

Summertime is here, so the IRS Nationwide Tax Forums are right around the corner.  For many tax professionals, the Forums are an affordable way to stay up-to-date on tax law changes and earn continuing education credits.  Here’s a summary of what to expect and a few tips to help you get the most out of your Forum experience.

There are five Forums this year, starting in Chicago (July 1-3) and ending in Orlando (August 26-28).  Stops in between are San Diego (July 15-17), New Orleans (July 22-24) and Washington, DC (August 19-21). 

The main draw for most participants is continuing education, and those attending every session over the three day period can earn 18 credits.  There is also a keynote address and a plenary session, usually featuring a high-ranking IRS official.  Currently, new IRS commissioner John Koskinen is scheduled to give the keynote speech at the Chicago Forum.
