SOCIAL SECURITY & MEDICARE
IRS Number:
Nearly ten years ago Bob Jennings CPA, CFP® wrote his first Social Security book, the Amazon best-selling “Guide to Social Security”. We began offering this class as a live course with Bob in 2013, and then also with Ron Roberson in 2016. The response from class participants has been incredible, and after presentations at the AICPA High Income Tax Conference, as well as at several national conventions, this course has become one of our most popular non-tax topics.
In the class (and the accompanying 200-page manual) we discuss qualifying for benefits; benefits for divorcees, widows and widowers; dependent children; disabled children; planning to maximize benefits, and special issues such as windfall elimination and government pension offsets. We even show you how the benefit is calculated; how to sign up; and how to add Social Security consulting to your office.
This course also includes a short review of Medicare. Updated to include the latest 2020 amounts, we guarantee the value of this class to you both personally and professionally.
Course Objectives
This course is the answer for any and all Social Security questions. Beginning with an overview of facts, taxability and benefits, the instructor then examines the individual rules to calculate benefits, when to draw, how to qualify and the tax inter-related aspects of these decisions. We then specifically and carefully discuss survivor and divorce benefits, children and other dependents, and disability. We then conclude with an in-depth and up-to-date explanation of Medicare. In prior years this course was sold to the general public as an Amazon best-seller on Social Security.
