Course Description:  

Washington's tax landscape continues to evolve, creating new opportunities—and new questions—for tax professionals and their clients. Join representatives from the Washington Department of Revenue for a timely discussion featuring two of the agency's most talked-about topics: the Voluntary Disclosure Agreement (VDA) Program and Washington's Capital Gains ("Millionaires") Tax.

Learn how the VDA Program can help businesses come into compliance while potentially reducing penalties and limiting lookback periods. You'll also receive updates on the Capital Gains Tax, including who it applies to, current considerations, and what practitioners need to know when advising clients.

Whether you work with individuals, business owners, or both, this session will provide practical guidance directly from the agency responsible for administering Washington's tax laws.

This is a space designed for collaboration, where questions are welcomed, challenges are discussed openly, and professionals walk away with clearer direction and stronger confidence heading into the next season of their practice.

Key Takeaways: 

Participants will walk away with:

• A stronger understanding of how the VDA Program works and when it may be an effective compliance solution.
