Federal Income Tax Changes Summary - 2022
 |
Each year, various limits affecting income tax preparation and planning change. Some changes
commonly occur each year as a result of inflation indexing, while others occur because of new legislation
or the sunsetting of existing law. This course will examine the tax changes affecting 2022 as a result of
passage of the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019 (SECURE Act),
the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), the American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA), and the inflation-changed limits effective for 2022 that are more significant from the perspective of
an income tax preparer. Some context will be supplied, as appropriate, to assist readers in understanding
the changes. |
