The luncheon at Magleby's was very pleasant. As I walked in I could tell there were CPAs waiting to be seated, so I started chatting with a couple people around me and was able to talk to the presenter. I sat at a table with another UVU student and several partners from Hawkins Cloward & Simister (HCS), who were all very gracious and excited to see us. Josh G. Rowley, who is the President of the Southern Chapter and a Partner at HCS, had us introduce ourselves.
The presentation was very simple but engaging as the speaker listed numerous important tax updates for the State of Utah. Probably the most interesting development that I was not aware of was that, as of Tax Year 2008, W-2s are no longer attached to State Form TC-40. Instead Form TC-4W is used to document wages, salaries and tips. There is no penalty for attaching W2s in 2008, but starting with Tax Year 2009 tax payers will be penalized for stapling W-2s to their return.
UVU had a great turnout: Three of us attended, while our sister university to the south somehow lost the memo. Not one showed up from BYU. Do I smell an upset in the making? Maybe not in the next year, but the CPAs I spoke to were all very impressed with UVU grads, who have been hired on to some of the largest firms in Utah. Wolverines are making an impact, one luncheon at a time!
