— THE HB ACADEMY
Every hour in here was written by someone who still signs returns. You learn the way the work actually happens, and you learn it from a federally licensed Enrolled Agent in Knoxville.

Start with a fit callPreparers who just need CE
Standalone continuing education courses built by a working EA. The 2027 catalog is in development, so right now this is a waitlist and nothing on it is for sale yet.
Join the waitlist— CONTINUING EDUCATION
Over 40 hours of instruction. The IRS requires 18 hours of continuing education for the Annual Filing Season Program. Refund2Income delivers the full 18-hour requirement — and far more instruction beyond it.
HB Academy is an IRS Approved Continuing Education Provider, provider number SGOXP. IRS CE provider approval does not constitute an endorsement by the IRS of the provider, the program, or any views expressed by the provider or its instructors.
— WHO TEACHES IT
I'm an Enrolled Agent and an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent, and our firm is an IRS Authorized e-File Provider serving clients since 2018 in all 50 states.
Here's the honest answer on why I built this. Most preparer training is written by people who stopped preparing, so it teaches the software and skips the judgment. I still sign returns every season, and that's what shows up in the material.
