Welcome to the Seventh Annual Long Island Tax Practitioner Symposium.  The Educational Foundation of the National Conference of CPA Practitioners – Nassau/Suffolk Chapter (NC CPAP ) along with its co-sponsors invites all CPAs and Tax Practitioners to take advantage of this year’s opportunity to earn up to 28 Continuing Professional Education Credits (CPEs) .

Last year, the symposium once again proved to be a premiere event with over 650 attendees per day! The response was overwhelmingly positive as practitioners had the opportunity to exchange ideas and concerns with each other, as well as with city, state, and federal government agencies that administer tax systems.

This year's Long Island Tax Practitioner Symposium will continue as in the past, to bring to its attendees a full three days of informative up-to-date programs presented by top professionals in their field.  Included are nationally known speakers Robert and Neil Katz, Vincent J. Russo, Professor Samuel Dyckman, and Beanna Whitlock! Programs include, a CFP track for your financial planning needs, and a Basic Tax Return full day Workshop, just to name a few. 

New this year, all three days will offer a Lunch Session where you can enjoy your lunch while attending the program and earn an extra CPE credit for each!

Key IRS and NY State executives will present many of the sessions and specialists will be on hand to answer technical questions. The IRS Case Resolution Room will provide an opportunity to resolve your client issues through IRS’s Everyday Tax Solutions assistance and Taxpayer Advocate Service.

This symposium will provide an opportunity for your professional growth.  You will be able to join IRS staff and your colleagues in open discussions on a variety of tax, accounting and financial planning related issues.

I would personally like to extend my sincere thanks to the Tax Practitioner Symposium Executive Committee chaired by Bob Goldfarb and consisting of Harold Ogulnick, Karen Giunta, Paula Sheppard, Stephen Sternlieb, Ross Kass and Kathy Casey for generating such a magnificent event. I would also like to thank our wonderful office staff; Kathy Casey, Holly Coscetta and Etta Gelbien.
