Top-Bewertungen von TAXATION OF BUSINESS ENTITIES I: CORPORATIONS
Some of the questions are overly tricky where the focus for me is on understanding the question rather than the substance. The instructor speaks a little too quickly.
Excellent Course Structure. But need more Comprehensive Form 1120 Tax Return Series Problems for more practice & retention for a US Tax Career.
I really appreciated the application of the learnings to Sunchaser Shakery examples for a better understanding of of the Tax act provisons.
The instructor is good. The course material is exhaustive and all efforts are taken to cover all relevant material.
