SUMMARY:State and Local Tax Implications of OB3 - Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Webcast overview\n\n\n\nAnd we are back! In September we hosted part one of this webcast series – State and Local Tax Implications of OB3 – and in part two we will delve a bit deeper. As states begin to calculate the negative impacts of the One Big\, Beautiful Bill (OB3) on their upcoming revenues\, some states have been quick to decouple from various OB3 tax changes to IRC sections 174\, 168(n)\, and 163(j). If state tax was not already complicated enough\, these decoupling acts are proving to have impacts far beyond what was expected. \n\n\n\nPlease join us for an insightful and informative webcast as our Washington National Tax – State and Local Tax professionals try to make sense of it all for business taxpayers. \n\n\n\nContinuing education\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThere will be one continuing professional education (CPE) credit available to participants who participate in the live webcast and meet the eligibility requirements. The webcast will last approximately one hour. \n\n\n\nAfter registering for this event\, you will receive webcast log‑in instructions (or dial in for audio‑only participation). \n\n\n\nCPE credit is not available for viewing webcast replay. \n\n\n\nQuestions: If you have questions about this event\, please e-mail KPMG Events & Meetings and reference event code MKNJT5KFZ24.

SUMMARY:Your IPO readiness roadmap: Navigating SOX compliance
