Industry Trainings

CASFAA is pleased to promote and share the online training opportunities for financial aid administrators provided by our industry partners and associations during the month.  Topics range from financial aid basics, compliance and best practices, to helping students manage debt and repayment, to professional development and personal improvement. A number of the sessions can be of value to both financial aid administrators, high school counselors as well as a few that may be shareable with your students.  You will also see a few business solutions sessions that may be of interest.

Spotlight Training

Special Free Annual Spring Tax Training Webinar from Iron Bridge Resources
The Iron Bridge Resources Annual Spring Webinar: A Look forward to the 2025 Tax Returns and Tax Code, and a Look Back at This Year’s Most Challenging Training Topics
Presenter:  Robert Weinerman, Iron Bridge Resources
The webinar will begin with a look at the 2025 tax year (the base year for 2027-2028). There have been some changes to 2025’s Form 1040 that financial aid administrators will want to understand before they begin collecting 2025 tax returns – especially if they will be used as documentation for income adjustment professional judgments during the 2026-2027 academic year. And Robert will look at the new tax exemptions created by the OBBBA and implemented in 2025 (the deductions for tip income, overtime, car loan interest, and taxpayers over 65), with a focus on how these new deductions may change financial aid outcomes.
Next, Robert will look at the changes the Department made to the draft 2027-2028 FAFSA, and what we may be able to glean about changes coming for the 2027-2028 aid year from these changes.
Finally, Robert will look at some of the topics that came up most frequently in his tax trainings this fall, to address, or readdress, areas of confusion of disagreement.
