Important News Update Affecting All RTRPs: The IRS has been enjoined by U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. from enforcing testing and CE requirements for RTRPs and tax preparers who have not yet taken the RTRP test.  It is anticipated that IRS will appeal this ruling, however the future of the RTRP program is uncertain at this time.  Currently, CE is optional rather than mandatory for RTRPs and tax preparers who have not yet taken the RTRP test.  Stay tuned to IRS' Return Preparer Office Facebook page for the latest information at https://www.facebook.com/IRStaxpros.  The court ruling does not impact Enrolled Agents, CPAs or attorneys who are still required to maintain CE.

Our mission is to provide beginner and advanced tax education courses that provide our students with the knowledge and skills needed to deliver great service and build clientele in the competitive tax preparation industry.
