Edward S. Karl, vice president of taxation for the American Institute of CPAs, will host the U.S. Small Business Administration’s year-end tax-planning Web chat on Thursday.
During the session, “Year-end Tax Essentials for Small Business Owners,” Karl will answer questions from participants about the importance of year-end tax preparation and planning for small business owners.
