Relief provisions, such as extending the CARES Act, are on the table. How will these factors impact federal tax policy? Listen in as we explore what’s coming in federal tax for 2021.

State and Local Tax Trends for Businesses in 2021

Presented by Judy Vorndran and Stacey Roberts

The year ahead in state and local taxes promises to be jarring as state budgets drive aggressive tax policy reactions in audit activity and state tax surcharges, surtaxes and other business taxes and credit limitations. The pivot to a democratic administration will also impact the tax reform initiatives at federal and state levels, in conjunction with rolling enforcement in a post-Wayfair world further impacted by budget deficits resulted from the pandemic. And, there are more than a few future trends to keep an eye on with centralized sales tax systems (Alaska, Alabama, Colorado and Louisiana) and the impact of sales tax registration on income tax compliance. Join us as we puzzle through the myriad of state and local tax issues on the radar for 2021.
