STARKVILLE, Miss.--Small business owners, certified public accountants and others interested in obtaining the latest on 2006 taxation issues should be making plans for Mississippi State's annual "update" seminars.
Organized from early November to early January by the College of Business and Industry's Division of Business Services, the sessions are led by Danny Hollingsworth and Edd Milam.
Hollingsworth is the former MSU School of Accountancy director now serving as interim dean of the college. Before becoming a professor emeritus earlier this year, Milam was the longtime coordinator of the school's graduate program in taxation.
During each of five two-day sessions, the veteran teachers will explain the latest tax rulings and legislation and update significant new developments. They also will examine current federal and state taxation issues, as well as those relating to retirement, ethics and other major areas.
Specific dates and locations for the daylong seminars include:
--Nov. 6 and 7, Delta State University's Ewing Hall, Cleveland. Oct. 20 is the registration deadline.
--Nov. 20 and 21, Jackson Hilton Hotel (East County Line Road). Oct. 27 is the registration deadline.
--Dec. 4 and 5, Hattiesburg's Lake Trace Convention Center. Nov. 17 is the registration deadline.
--Dec. 11 and 12, Memphis, Tenn., Hilton Hotel (Ridgelake Boulevard). Nov. 24 is the registration deadline.
--Jan. 4 and 5, MSU's McCool Hall, home of the College of Business and Industry.
Dec. 5 is the registration deadline.
A $225-per-person early registration fee covers materials, instructions and refreshments. Forms postmarked after the individual deadline dates will be charged a $25 late fee.
If space is available, walk-in participants may be accepted for the full $250 amount.
Accountants participating in the seminar may qualify for 16 hours of continuing professional education credit.
