Join Jody Padar for a timely mix of tax-technical interpretation, practical workflows, and advisory insight that empowers you to lead confidently in the new tip credit landscape.
About this webinar:
The FICA Tip Credit is entering a new era. With H.R.1 and proposed IRS regulations redefining qualified tips and tipped occupations, tax professionals now have both a technical challenge and a major advisory opportunity. Firms that build clear, consistent, data-driven workflows will be better positioned to guide clients, reduce risk, and create recurring advisory revenue. In this session, we’ll break down the latest IRS guidance and walk through a modern, systematic approach to evaluating eligibility, structuring advisory conversations, and creating a repeatable model for ongoing client support. You’ll also see how AI-enabled workflows can enhance client communication, streamline analysis, and help you deliver more strategic guidance to clients without adding complexity.
