On the eve of the 2020 holiday season, CPA practitioners received both a gift and a lump of coal in their stocking—the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.
The National Conference of CPA Practitioners (NCCPAP) is here to help and offer support to practitioners everywhere. As regulations are issued by the IRS and U.S. Department of the Treasury to bring some clarity to aspects of the Bill, NCCPAP will be at the forefront of education, advocacy, and support.

With the passage of the “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” the National Conference of CPA Practitioners (NCCPAP), a national organization of small and mid-sized CPA practices, can claim a major victory for business owners/taxpayers.
Included in this legislation is the provision that all expenses paid for by PPP funds are now fully deductible. We want to thank the members of Congress for taking the concerns of the practitioner community into consideration and including this provision in the legislation.

According to Ms. Tenenbaum, “The Tax Symposium is unique in that it brings together top thought leaders and practitioners at a single event. Although I’ll miss seeing my friends and colleagues in person, I appreciate that our co-chairs have worked exceptionally hard so that we can still gather (albeit remotely), exchange ideas, learn from one another, build relationships, and form strategic alliances.” Karen has been a proud member of NCCPAP for over 30 years, including Past Chair of the Tax Liaison Committee of the Nassau/Suffolk Chapter. She continues, “It is a wonderful organization dedicated to educating tax professionals and advocating on behalf of its members, their clients, and the public with respect to tax laws. It is an organization where practicing, experienced practitioners help one another on a regular basis. You can always pick up the phone and get sound advice from a colleague.”
This year’s impressive lineup of speakers includes over 60 knowledgeable thought leaders on a wide variety of topics. They are experienced presenters who are skilled at educating and engaging conference attendees. Ms. Tenenbaum’s sessions at this year’s symposium include: Five Degrees of Perspective on NYS Residency and Hear Directly from the IRS about IRS Tax Collection.

Newly elected NCCPAP President, Mark Stewart Jr., CPA, issues his first President’s Message. Mark says, “There is no greater honor in this profession than to be recognized by your peers. I am beyond humbled that all of you have put your faith in me to lead NCCPAP, our organization. I promise to do my best in this position, as I have done all the years I have served at NCCPAP-at the Chapter level and the National level.”
He also discusses how NCCPAP has transformed to meet the stay-at-home mandates. Over the past year, NCCPAP has hosted numerous free seminars online. In doing so, Mark says, “NCCPAP touched hundreds of practitioners across the country. Those practitioners touched tens of thousands of small businesses and individuals and I am sure saved countless small businesses and families across the country from financial ruin. Each and every NCCPAP member should be proud of that. We will strive to keep this momentum going.”
