Hello Everyone,
Wow, we survived another tax season! That was no small feat this year. With congress not passing the
finalized regulations until after January 1st, our software companies had to scramble to get the necessary
updates to us. We waited and wondered how many different times they would change the beginning date
for e-filing and then waited even longer to be able to include returns with certain forms attached. I hope
you've been able to regroup, recharge, and take a little time for rest and relaxation.
Your chapter is planning a very busy year with great educational opportunities where you can obtain
quality education and network with other professionals at an affordable price close to home. Our Western
seminar will be September 20th in Cranberry Township; Our Eastern Seminar will be October 22nd in the
Lehigh County area and our Annual Conference will be November 18th and 19th in Mechanicsburg. We
will also try something new this year. On December 11th a half day educational seminar in Cranberry
Township will include 2 hours of ethics and 2 hours or tax updates. Visit our website www.panatptax.com
to find information on all the upcoming educational opportunities, chapter news, and other information.
Your Board of Directors works very hard to serve you and would appreciate any suggestions or ideas on
how we can improve your experiences with us. We are always looking for volunteers. Our contact
information can be found on the website.
The National NATP Conference will be held July 8-11 in Phoenix, Arizona. If you've never attended a
National Conference, I urge you to attend. The Pennsylvania Chapter will host a gathering there for
attendees from our state. (Watch the bulletin board in the registration area for details) Hope to see all of
you at one or more of our seminars.
