By Popular Demand, CCH Presents Timely Webinar on New Carryover Basis Rules and Form 8939

Are You Ready for the January 17 Filing Deadline?

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., January 9, 2012) – Based on very high participation and tremendous feedback from last week’s CCH webinar on carryover basis rules for 2010 deaths and new Form 8939, CCH is again presenting this important session for professionals who still need questions answered about Form 8939 before it must be filed on January 17. Form 8939 is used by heirs of estates of decedents who died in 2010 and who want to elect to apply the modified carryover basis rules to their benefactor's estate as opposed to the estate tax rules.
