Actualizaciones del escritorio del Directo Ejecutivo
Desde el escritorio del Director Ejecutivo:
Queremos agradecer a todos nuestros miembros su continuo apoyo, ya que debido a este apoyo el IRS le pidió a Latino Tax Professionals Association, que participáramos en una discusión tipo mesa redonda con la Oficina de Implementación de la Reforma Tributaria (TRIO, por sus siglas en inglés) en Washington D.C. donde nos reunimos con TRIO para dar nuestra opinión, desde la perspectiva de los latinos. La reunión fue un éxito, compartiremos lo que aprendimos tan pronto se den las circunstancias precisas. También nos solicitaron que LTPA se uniera al Consejo de Desarrollo en Comunicación para Recaudaciones Electrónicas conocido como CERCA (por sus siglas en inglés). La misión de CERCA es proveer un fórum y un punto de enlace entre el IRS y la industria, así como otras partes interesadas.
Hay mucha información que tenemos que absorber, por lo tanto, presentaremos esta información en una serie de videos y blogs.
