2024 IRS Nationwide Tax Forum: Educational seminars, special events announced focusing on tax security, scams, practice management and Beneficial Ownership Information 

Early Bird Registration Rate Expires June 17

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today announced the continuing education agenda for the 2024 Nationwide Tax Forum featuring 45 seminars on a wide array of topics that will help tax professionals serve their clients.

This year's agenda, featuring speakers from the IRS and leading tax associations, includes topics ranging from tax law updates to managing client examinations, from digital assets to the Secure Act 2.0, and from the Employee Retention Credit to clean energy credits.

In the keynote address and plenary session, IRS leadership will focus on the agency's ongoing work to improve service and transform enforcement and compliance activities.

In addition to the regular tax law update and ethics courses, this year's forum is hosting two panel discussions on cybersecurity: "Tax Pros and Security – Real-Life Threats and Steps to Protect Your Business" and "IRS Security Summit and the Written Information Security Plan." In addition, experts from the Pell Center will present "Cybersecurity for Tax Professionals."

The Nationwide Tax Forum will also equip tax pros to join in the fight against abusive scams, schemes and fraud with three seminars on the topic.

Six of this year's most popular topics will be presented in both English and Spanish.

Altogether, attendees can earn up to 19 continuing education credits by attending one of the five forums in Chicago, Orlando, Baltimore, Dallas or San Diego.

In addition to the regular seminar lineup, attendees at the Nationwide Tax Forum can attend all of the following special events:

Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting

Wednesday: 5:45-6:45 p.m.

A new law affecting many small businesses – including many tax practices – went into effect in 2024 requiring companies to report ownership information to the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This bonus session, featuring representatives from FinCen and the IRS, will explain what tax professionals need to do to comply with the new reporting requirements.

The special events do not convey continuing education credit.
