Tax School Homepage

This course consists of 2 levels that will help you become well-learned knowledgeable tax professional. Most states, including California only require you to attain tax knowledge that is included up to topic 30 of this syllabus. Once you complete topic 30 and the exams (and additional hours for your state, if any), we will issue your certificate of completion for level 1 which satisfies the tax education requirements for most states.

In our effort to comply with and support the new IRS tax education requirements and efforts in the improvement of tax professional education, we wish you will consider completing both level 1 and level 2 of this program. Upon completion of both levels we will issue you a frame-able professional certificate of completion. Tax professionals who study well and who successfully complete level 1 and 2 of this tax course with a grade point average of 90% or better can sit for the IRS EA exam with confidence.
