What students say about the course:

Lisa Dykes

Overall, this was a great course!! It greatly improved my confidence and knowledge of the federal income tax concepts. I thought the assignments were very thorough and helpful in getting me ready to be a tax preparer.

I loved the videos with Amy and thought she did an amazing job of explaining and giving more practical application to some of the more complex topics. She was easy to understand, easy to listen to, and very enjoyable to learn from.

I loved the online platform as well as the self-paced format. The way the assignments were broken up into topic based themes as well as how they come into play on the 1040 tax return made them easier to grasp and track along the way. I also love the fact that I have a physical manual and handbook to use for future reference.

It is the best school for income tax preparation in the nation.

I appreciate taking this class and achieving my goals. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I’ve been a stay at home mom for 22 years and have worked back in bookkeeping and accounting for a couple years now. So I’m ecstatic that I passed and that I have become a business owner.
