Louisiana REALTORS is providing a webinar with Former IRS attorney, Sandy Botkin as part of a member benefit partnership with TaxBot. The Tax Cuts Act was the biggest overhaul to the tax system in 3 decades. And it has fundamentally changed the tax game for self-employed people.

On this webinar Sandy Botkin will teach you what the new tax law means for your business and he’ll explain it in plain English!
