Tax School Homepage
This course consists of 2 levels that will help you develop into a well-learned knowledgeable tax professional. Most states, including California only require you to attain tax knowledge that is included up to topic 35 of this syllabus. Once you complete topic 35 and exam 2 (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. Once your certificate for level 1 has been issued, you can apply for a tax preparers license.
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 have studied 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.
