Washington Tax Brief

	One of the biggest challenges facing tax practitioners is keeping up with changes in the tax law. The AICPA Tax Team, based in Washington, DC, focuses a significant amount of their time on exactly that. Our tax advocacy efforts support the public interest and our members by advocating for sound tax policy and effective tax administration. The Washington Tax Brief is a webinar series offered by the AICPA Tax Section to help keep you informed of what is going on in Washington that may affect you, your practice or your clients.
