Tax Rules 2015 - Tax Rules for Investments and Employee Benefits

Tax Rules for Investments and Employee Benefits
This training program will offer attendees a clearer understanding of the tax rules and laws that affect the types of investments or employee benefits that they hold. There are many things to consider and plan for when it comes to investing and employee benefits: whether you are an employer providing employee benefits, an employee receiving benefits, or even a company that owns investments.
Why Should You Attend:
The IRS tax code is very complex. There are tax laws that relate to investments and employee benefits. However, they are not one size fits all. There are many types of investments and employee benefits, and there are tax laws for each type. The tax rules for an IRA are not the same for employer provided health benefits. It’s very important for employers to be knowledgeable of their tax obligations for providing employee benefits. Employers should also make their employees aware of the tax obligations for these benefits from the employees’ side. Avoiding tax obligations such as withholding, depositing tax payments, and reporting investment income is seen as tax evasion and can cause serious consequences. Getting the knowledge beforehand can help avoid confusion and problems.
