LEGISLATIVE UPDATE - I hope you got the Member Alert last week that Conformity was passed. House Bill 13 b rings Idaho tax law into conformance with IRS Code as of January 1, 2019.

This conformity legislation does include Section 179 that has been made permanent in federal statute. It does not include bonus depreciation. 

What does "advocacy" mean for us in Idaho? I am at the Capitol almost daily during the session to monitor tax bills and rules that could affect our ISCPA members and their clients. I attend both House and Senate Committee meetings, State Board of Accountancy meetings, Tax Committee presentations and open meetings, as well as IACI and ATI weekly legislative meetings. It's a busy time of year, but it's an important part of our efforts to advocate and protect the CPA profession in Idaho. ~ Laura Lantz
