Michigan Business Tax (MBTE2)

This seminar will cover all aspects of the Michigan Business Tax except taxpayer and industry specific credits, nexus, apportionment and unitary.

The MBT Act is constantly evolving with new legislation, FAQs and RABs. The new and updated MBT will cover all the amendments to the law, new FAQs, RABs and other pertinent information. The seminar will include the MBT forms that will be used to prepare and file returns. Take a through look at the preparation of the MBT forms and will provide comment on problem areas, errors or mistakes in the forms and/or instructions as well as computer software problems.

Because of the intense complexity of the MBT, there is a necessity as well as opportunity for tax planning in two forms. First, defensively tax planning includes documentation and recordkeeping to secure exclusions, deductions, subtractions and credits provided for in the law.
