Spring MBT Road Show Has Taken Me to the Corners of the State of Michigan

I have been on the road a lot with the MBT seminars and consulting engagements. Last week I was in Marquette for an in-house seminar and two other seminars at Northern Michigan University. The week before I was in Detroit for a MBT seminar and two consulting engagements. The Michigan Business Tax continues to present unique challenges and opportunities.

Now that we have forms and instructions as well as a filing season behind us, tax practitioners are finding new issues to deal with. In presenting the MBT seminars I have found a lot of confusion and doubt in regard to the book/tax adjustment to the business income tax. Many practitioners do not understand its application and how to compute the adjustment. The book/tax adjustment, which is filed on Form 4593, presents a unique opportunity to create deductions to the business income tax.

In June I will be teaming up with David Barrons to present a series of MBT seminars on nexus, apportionment and unitary. We have developed a new seminar titled: Michigan Business Tax – Multistate: Nexus, Apportionment and Unitary Business Group. Participant evaluations from the 2008 MBT seminars were used to develop this new seminar.

The seminar features detailed problems on the control test, the relationship test and how to complete a unitary business group study. Participants will also complete, step by step, a unitary combined Michigan Business Tax return.

The following list shows the dates and locations for the June seminars. Ctrl + Click to follow the link to the MACPA website for a complete description of the seminar and registration information:
