But don’t take it from us! Hear it directly from your peers:

This is the BEST tax seminar that I attend. I look forward to it every year.

The course was both technically informative and pragmatic. I always learn something new that I can apply in my everyday practice.

The variety of presenters (and interaction between presenters), video clips, scenarios, jokes, and stories provided the most engaging tax technical CPE I've attended.

Every single topic covered was relevant for our clients.

I greatly appreciate the opportunity to learn from the best!

TAX PLANNING FORUM®

Our premier seminar, the "Annual Partnership, LLC & S Corporation Tax Planning Forum," or simply the "Forum," is an intensive flow-through entity tax planning seminar, which incorporates recent developments from Congress, Treasury, the IRS, case law and the many issues raised throughout the year by our attendees into the hottest flow-through planning techniques. Created entirely new for the 39th year, the Forum provides attendees with cutting-edge strategies to take advantage of tax planning and business planning opportunities. As the Forum deals with advanced techniques, it is best suited for tax professionals who have a good working knowledge of flow-through taxation.

Read a summary of anticipated topics to be covered at the 2025 Tax Planning Forum.

Health-Related Protocols: For all 2025 in-person programs, Tax Forum has no health-related protocols at the present time. However, Tax Forum reserves the right both to create protocols and to change these protocols at any time. For those who are unable or unwilling to abide by any potential Tax Forum health-related protocols, we will re-register them for the most convenient virtual programs.

Cancellation Policy:  Full refunds of program registration fees will be given (a) for virtual attendee cancellations received at least 10 days prior to the program first selected and (b) for in-person attendee cancellations received at least 30 days prior to the program subject to a $340 cancellation fee. There will be no refunds of program registration fees for cancellations after these dates. Substitutions from the same firm will be accepted at any time.

Program Cancellation: Program sponsors reserve the right to cancel a scheduled event for any reason or change content without further notice, with liability limited to a refund of registration fees for any rescheduled or cancelled program. Registration fees will be refunded for any rescheduled or cancelled program.

Program Prerequisites/Level: The Forum is an advanced program designed to (a) provide participants with knowledge of tax planning opportunities using flow-through entities, (b) make participants aware of changes in the law impacting the use of flow-through entities and (c) become more knowledgeable of the tax rules that apply to flow-through entities. To get the most from this program, it is recommended that a participant have at least (i) two years of concentrated experience in flow-through taxation, or (ii) five years of general tax experience with a basic understanding of flow-through principles. Fundamentals of Flow-Through is an intermediate program designed to provide participants with a better understanding of the tax rules relating to the operation and use of flow-through entities and to make participants aware of changes in the law impacting the use of flow-through entities. A participant should have had some limited exposure to flow-through principles. No advance preparation is required for either program.

Hotel Accommodations: Blocks of rooms will be held at the listed hotels until 30 days before each in-person program (subject to availability). (A portion of the room revenues will defray conference expenses.) To qualify for the room rates noted, please make your own hotel reservations, identifying yourself as a 2025 Tax Planning Forum registrant.

CPE/CLE Credit: We anticipate that the virtual programs should qualify for up to 20 hours and the in-person programs for up to 16 hours of CPE credit (based on NASBA certification). Each year, Tax Planning Forum LLC seeks to register each of its programs for CLE credit in states where CLE is mandatory, the number of hours of which vary by state. As approval of each program for CLE credit is governed by a variety of governing bodies and state agencies, no assurance can be provided that it will so qualify in your state. If you require CLE credit, we suggest that you contact us about the status of qualification of our programs for CLE credit in your state. (Note that CLE approval is pending in the state of California.)

Tax Planning Forum LLC is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors. State boards of accountancy have final authority on the acceptance of individual courses for CPE credit. Complaints regarding registered sponsors may be submitted to the National Registry of CPE Sponsors through its website

For more information regarding administrative policies such as complaint resolution, please contact Customer Service at (800) 286-4760. Customer support is also available at the Tax Forum website.
