The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will host a series of online and in-person tax workshops this fall to help tax practitioners navigate the latest changes in tax law and apply them confidently.
Workshops will be held in Dallas, Stafford, Victoria and online. The sessions provide continuing education credits for enrolled agents, certified public accountants, certified financial planners, attorneys and other tax practitioners.
“This year’s tax changes require careful interpretation,” said Scott Youngblood, longtime tax practitioner and AgriLife Extension Tax Workshops presenter. “We want to help people understand what tax rules are staying, what’s going and how to advise clients.”
Led by experienced tax professionals, each workshop goes beyond legislative updates by emphasizing real-world application for individual, small business and agricultural tax returns.
“These sessions combine expert instruction with interactive learning,” said Lisa Patterson, AgriLife Extension Tax Workshops program manager in the Texas A&M Department of Agricultural Economics, Bryan-College Station. “Our goal is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to better serve the community.”
A trusted source for continuing education
AgriLife Extension Tax Workshops program has long been recognized for connecting Texas professionals with reliable, up-to-date guidance. Courses qualify for continuing education credits through the IRS, the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy, the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards and the State Bar of Texas.
“Learning doesn’t stop when you graduate or get certified,” Youngblood said. “These programs give professionals and individuals a way to keep building their knowledge year after year.”
