CATALOG

A Message From Your VSCPA Leadership Thank you for continuing to trust the VSCPA for your learning needs. As we continue to navigate this uncertain time, we wanted to let you know the information contained within this catalog is subject to change. All course details are accurate as of the publish date of May 1. There is still a lot of uncertainty about what the rest of the year holds, but we can assure you your health and well-being is our top priority. We’re prepared to make adjustments to these courses should event gathering guidance change. The VSCPA is committed to ensuring you can still attend events and earn your CPE credits as you would in any other year — it may be a different delivery method, but you can expect the same quality education we have always provided. We’ve upgraded our learning technology, allowing for more virtual offerings. We’ve also added in more ways to engage with other CPAs in online events; and our online community, Connect, will continue to be a helpful resource for connecting with your peers. We look forward to serving your learning needs in 2020. Sincerely, Stephanie Peters, CAE President & CEO VSCPA

Henry Davis III, CPA Chair VSCPA

NEW! Section 199A: Schedule K-1 Reporting for Relevant Pass-Through Entities The Tax Cuts and Job Act of 2017 created new reporting requirements for relevant pass-through entities (RPE).

The IRS has added disclosure lines to Schedules K-1 for S corporations, partnerships and trusts. Explore the new reporting requirements on those forms and discuss uncertainties that still exist related to the reporting requirements.
