Attend a meeting. The meeting can be any one of the following: A  work-based meeting, Municipality, township, or school district meeting, A  meeting for an organization you might be involved with, or Any other  meeting you can identify within the course required time frame. Based on your reading, understanding of the articles, and your  experience in the meeting you attended, answer the following questions: Where is the meeting being conducted, and what is its purpose? Is  the meeting focused on communications or problem solving, or is it a  meeting with no specific agenda? Is the meeting a regularly scheduled event, such as a monthly scheduled meeting or a meeting to address a specific matter? Does the meeting have a set communication designed with relevant information to advance the meeting? Please explain. Was the meeting opened with an announcement or explanation of its purpose and importance? What was the communication style of the meeting's leader or facilitator? What were the leader's bases of power? Select from a number of conceptual paradigms and elaborate on your selection. Did the members or attendees have an opportunity to express opinions? Were they asked for suggestions, ideas, and information? Did you recognize any conflict, disrespect, or tension among the  members or attendees? If so, was the source of the conflict evident? Did you observe the participants' body language (such as posturing,  positioning, or gesturing) when different topics were introduced?  Describe it. What was the intended outcome of the meeting? Was it achieved? Why  or why not? What were the pivotal moments of the meeting which  contributed to its success or failure? Next, complete the following tasks to provide an overall critique of the meeting you attended: Identify the positive, effective qualities of the meeting in one  list, and identify the qualities which were ineffective in a separate  list. Arrange each list from top to bottom, from most important to least important. Take the top three ranked factors from each list and explain the affect they had on the meeting. Finally, imagine that you need to organize a meeting to introduce a  new project in a health service organization. The project is  sufficiently complex in size and nature to require an expanded  cross-section of expertise from within and outside the organization. You  are responsible for inviting the necessary individuals and  representatives of involved departments and professional functions to  the meeting. Based on the principles contained in the articles, textbook, and  elected independent research provided in the course, complete the  following tasks: Develop an agenda for the meeting. Provide information, expertise, and background on the invited  attendees. Explain the rationale and intended functional expertise each  attendee brings to the group. Recognize and develop measurable objectives to assess the success of the planned meeting.

The scenario below of tax related information to respond, in memorandum form, to Thomas Drake's inquiry regarding the Section 199A deduction and its applicability to his business.You are required to submit one copy of the tax research memorandum on or by the due date.THOMAS DRAKE'S 2018 TAX SCENARIOThomas Drake is a small business owner, operating a manufacturing plant in Chicago, Illinois (as an S-Corp.) He has heard about a new tax break called Section 199A (deduction for qualified business income) wherein he may be entitled to a deduction of up to 20% of his qualified business income. If he can qualify for this deduction, it would result in significant tax savings for his business. Consequently, he contacts your accounting firm to find out exactly what this deduction entails, and how, or if, he can qualify.Thomas provides the CPA firm with the following information regarding his 2018 estimated income from his business, Rebecca, his spouse's income, and asset and payroll information related to his company. (Thomas and Rebecca file "married filing jointly.")Item Amount Net Income from Operations (S Corp) $175,000 Spouse's (Rebecca) Income (from unrelated business) $50,000 Corporate Payroll $150,000 Corporate Total Assets $1,500,000 Taxable Income from Form 1040 $160,000 (Total Tax for Drake's after allowable deductions unrelated to the business)Your team will prepare a tax research memorandum detailing the statutory framework of this deduction, a thorough explanation of Section 199A and all the key definitions, a determination of whether Thomas qualifies for the deduction, a determination of the amount of this deduction, and what Thomas could do to maximize this deduction in the future. The memorandum must be supported by tax research using IRC code, tax cases if any, and other scholarly journals and references. Since some of this data is estimated, he is asking for a general analysis of his tax situation relative to this deduction.Some specific issues which must be addressed are the following:What is qualified business income (QBI)? What is included and what is not?What is a qualified trade or business (SSTB)?Any limitations, income or otherwise on this deduction?What are some planning strategies for help Thomas maximize this deduction in future years?What is an estimate of the amount of the deduction for 2018, if any?The memorandum should be 7 - 10 pages with references to the IRC code and other tax support. This memorandum will serve as the basis for the team PowerPoint presentation due in Week 8.Performing tax research to find correct answers to a given tax situation, and composing memorandums summarizing these findings, are important parts of tax practice. As outlined in your text, there are several authoritative primary tax law sources. The first, the Internal Revenue Code, is the law enacted by Congress. The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service publish a number of materials that interpret and provide decisions, pronouncing their interpretation and application of the Code, including treasury regulations, revenue rulings, and revenue procedures. Finally, courts are often asked to hear tax disputes between taxpayers and the United States, and these courts issue rulings that interpret and apply the tax law, creating additional tax authority in the process. These combined writings constitute primary tax law authority, and these are the authorities that tax practitioners rely upon when a client asks for their opinions regarding how a proposed or a completed transaction should be treated for tax purposes.Some of the more significant guidelines for this tax memorandum include the following:Your submission must be completed in Microsoft Word.You must use a reasonably easy-to-read font, such as Times New Roman or Arial, in at least a 12-point font size. Each page must have at least a 1-inch margin on all sides and be double spaced.Appropriate citations are required.The tax memorandum must be in traditional tax memorandum format, as outlined in your text.All DeVry University policies are in effect, including the Plagiarism Policy.The team paper is due at the end of Week 7 of the course.This assignment is worth 120 points.
