Dear PA-NATP,

I hope everyone had a nice holiday. Now it is time to get ready for tax season.

The 2011 Annual State Conference was held in Mechanicsburg on November 15th. The topics this year were very educational. Because of the way the holidays fall in November 2012, next year's Conference will be in October on the 22nd & 23rd and will be held in Mechanicsburg again. 2012 will mark the 25th anniversary of the Pennsylvania Chapter of NATP. We have already started working on the festivities to celebrate this accomplishment. Please pencil this event into your calendar so that you can help the Chapter celebrate 25 years. 		Justina Tushak

A tentative 2012 PA-NATP calendar of events appears elsewhere in this newsletter. The West seminar will be held in September in Cranberry, PA (outside Pittsburgh, PA) and the East seminar will be held in November at the Woodlands in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Please check the calendar for other Chapter events. As details of the events are finalized they will be announced in the Chapter Weekly and posted on our website PaNATPTax.com.

I want to welcome Rebecca Mangold to the Board of Directors. She will be filing the vacant spot in Region 2. You can read her bio later in this newsletter. We are happy to have Rebecca on the Board

Did you renew your PTIN? The renewal process on the IRS website www.irs.gov is fast and easy. If you are new to e-filing have you checked the e-file mandate for both the IRS and Pennsylvania?

Are you familiar with the changes ACT 32 brings to Local Earned Income Tax? They affect both the employer and the employee and take affect on January 1, 2012. Details can be found on www.NewPA.com.

Congratulations to Patty Turner, Doris Cooper, Kathryn Bowman, Amy Gambler and Rebecca Mangold on becoming certified instructors recently.

In the spring, the Chapter will prepare the Chapter of the Year application. Please forward to me information about yourself or another member that has had articles published, appeared on television or radio and/or participated in charity work associated with tax preparation. These events earn points for the Chapter in the competition.

Have a healthy and prosperous new year. Sincerely,
Justina Tushak, CPA EA
