AEC Mid-Year Tax Update: 2026 Planning & Opportunities

As we move into the second half of 2026, the federal tax landscape for AEC firms continues to shift. Join Marla Miller, CPA, JD, and Chad Bumbaugh, CPA, for a strategic update designed to translate complex legislative developments and IRS guidance into actionable intelligence for your firm.

We will move beyond the headlines to focus on the core themes impacting your cash flow and long-term positioning. This session provides a deep dive into critical planning areas, including bonus depreciation timing, Section 174 R&D capitalization recovery, and high-value energy incentives. We will also address the increasing IRS scrutiny on documentation to help you gain the clarity needed to align your mid-year strategy with year-end goals.

During this event, you’ll learn how to:

• Identify key federal tax developments and their direct impact on firm economics.
• Recognize how current IRS enforcement trends and recent court rulings shape documentation standards.
• Apply a forward-looking perspective to year-end planning by identifying timing opportunities and emerging risk areas.
