LATE REGISTRATION POLICY
For registrations received less than 21 days from the course date will be charged a late fee of $50 for each 8 hour course and $25 for each 4 hour course and $12.50 for each 2 hour course.

This course has been updated for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. TCJA made a major change to the cannabis tax area. This course will also focus will be on recent cases and IRS administrative guidance; decreasing taxable income of legal marijuana growers, processors and retailers; methods for allocating deductions when a marijuana business and another business is operated by the same entity; and what costs may be capitalized by type of operation (i.e., grower vs. processor vs. retailer). We'll also discuss which types of entities work best for cannabis businesses.

Major Topics:
- What major impact did the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 have on the cannabis area?
- IRS CCA 201504011: Is the IRS correct and what expenditures are includible as cost of goods sold under this CCA?
- The 9th Circuit's Martin Olive decision.
- Recent tax court cases.
- Allocation of expenditures between two businesses (legal marijuana and other business operated by same entity).
- Business entity choices.

Learning Objectives:
- Recognize recent developments.
