With income tax planning now more important than estate tax planning to your clients,
and the burgeoning number of trusts and estates,
it’s imperative that you know…
The Basics of Trust & Estate Income Taxation
If you are a CPA, Enrolled Agent, or tax preparer, understanding how to properly prepare the Form 1041 (Federal Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts) is both a necessity (to avoid malpractice) and an opportunity to expand your practice (and your bottom line!).
If you’re an estate planning attorney or financial advisor, understanding Trust and Estate income taxation is essential to good plan design, drafting and administration (particularly with regard to tax planning for investments and distributions, and protecting your Trustee-client).
Unfortunately, unless you’ve attended an LL.M. or MBT program, you probably never learned the basics of Trust and Estate income taxation.
Now you have a time-efficient way to do so.
Please join us and one of the nation’s leading tax experts - - Robert S. Keebler, CPA/PFS, MST, AEP (Distinguished), CGMA for a very special 2-part presentation replay entitled, “Income Taxation of Trusts & Estates Made Easy”.

Great program! I think it would have been much better as a webinar instead of a teleconference, so that the speaker could highlight or circle portions of the 1041 during the lecture. 10 out of 10 from me!
Hi Michael! Thanks for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed this 2-part program. We will do our best to incorporate a webinar platform in the future. Moving to a webinar platform has been a more challenging platform for us to move over to since we’re a small office and we do not have the technical support to assist our customers if they are unable to connect to the program like some of the larger CE companies. Our customers have also found the teleconference format with the handouts provided to you to take notes right on the slides. Thanks again for this feedback though. We will definitely consider this for our future programs like this!
