One CPA Elected to State House, One Narrowly Defeated
Come January 2009, a CPA will take office in Lansing as a newly elected member of the Michigan House of Representatives. For the first time in many years, Michigan’s CPA profession will have one of their own within the State Capitol – truly the best advocate for any profession.

Record Crowd Gets First Glimpse of Draft MBT Forms
One of the hottest sessions at the recent Michigan Tax Conference provided the first look at the final draft Michigan Business Tax (MBT) forms. The MBT was a primary focus at the MACPA’s two-day Michigan Tax Conference on November 5 and 6 in Novi. Floyd Schmitzer, director of the Bureau of Tax Processing in the Michigan Department of Treasury, unveiled the new draft forms to a crowd of nearly 600 CPAs, attorneys and financial executives and administrators.

Partnerships Strengthen the Profession, Offer Unique Opportunities for Members
A year after its introduction, the Michigan Business Tax is still the most significant topic around for CPAs and attorneys. The MBT was the primary focus at the MACPA’s two-day Michigan Tax Conference on November 5 and 6 in Novi. This premier event drew a record-setting crowd – nearly 600 on the first day, and 500 the second – and featured state tax experts from around the country. The MACPA, the Michigan Department of Treasury and the Taxation Section of the State Bar of Michigan partnered to put the conference together.
