Learning when you need to insist that a client receives qualified tax help is crucial in immigration law. It can be difficult to understand and keep up with all the relevant issues because you are not a full-time tax practitioner. Don’t practice in a silo! Panelists will help you recognize and identify important tax issues so that you can provide the best support and representation to your clients.
Featured Topics:
- Deadline basics: personal versus business taxes, extensions, payment deadlines, payment plan processes, and more
- How to read a tax return: proving ability to pay and answering general revenue questions on immigration forms (including the I-140, I-129, and I-864)
- Life decisions that require qualified tax professionals: pre-U.S. immigration tax planning, relinquishing permanent residence or U.S. citizenship
- Delayed K-1s for entrepreneurial naturalization applicants
- Explaining to a USCIS officer their often-late issuance, causing postponed tax filings and payment plans
- Helping your client find the right tax professional: tax attorney, certified public accountant (CPA), or both!
