As always, there is a lot going on in the tax world that impacts businesses and their owners, this year in particular due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. It was my privilege to again serve as editor of the AICPA’s Tax Adviser August Tax Clinic, a special section in the professional journal that brings current tax issues to the forefront.
 
This year’s Cohen & Company contributors focused on helping practitioners nationwide better understand areas such as estate planning, Opportunity Zones, Section 199A for RICs and small taxpayer gross receipts rules.
