Steamboat briefs: Small business tax seminar scheduled at CMC
A free seminar about preparing for the 2016 tax season will be offered from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 24 in classroom 210 at Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus in Steamboat Springs.
The seminar, presented by CPA Dan Bonner, will help small business owners understand typical issues others face in dealing with filing their returns. With many years as a CPA assisting Yampa Valley small businesses and as a small business owner himself, Bonner is well-qualified to provide advice to make good choices entering tax season.
Topics will include, filing dates, changes to tax code for 2016, home office and vehicle deductions, what to bring to your preparer and a discussion on do it yourself business tax software versus using a tax professional.
Though this seminar is free, registration is required. Call 970-870-4491 to sign up.
The seminar is hosted by the Yampa Valley Entrepreneurship Center at Colorado Mountain College, with support from the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association and Routt County.
