— WHAT'S COMING
Three tracks in development.
AFTR
The Annual Federal Tax Refresher course and its comprehension test, offered inside the IRS window of June 1 through December 31.
Mastery specialty modules
Focused modules on the returns that get people stuck. Schedule C, rentals, multi-state, and entity basics for the preparer who keeps saying no to that work.
Nothing on this page is for sale. Course pricing, IRS program numbers, and registration details are published only after each program is registered with the IRS.
