Course Description

After years of seeing people who prepare their own tax return make the same expensive mistakes over and over, I decided to create a course that will save you time, money, and sanity at tax time.
This course is designed to thoroughly teach you the ins and outs of your federal income taxes. It is taught line-by-line so you can understand where the amounts comefrom and how they effect your tax situation. Whether you use Turbo Tax, Tax Slayer, or any other software, this course will be easy to follow as it teaches tax in a way that is unaffected by which software you use.
There is also a checklist provided to use once you have completed your tax return to make sure you've claimed all the deductions you can before you efile your return.
There are also tips and tricks to save on tax,including things you can do now for next year's tax return, throughout the course. Never file your return without this knowledge again! You cannot afford to neglect this important part of your personal finances. If you are intentional with your money, your budget, and deliberate with your financial goals, this course is for you.
Who this course is for:
Anyone who prepares or wants to prepare their own U.
S. income tax return.
Those who are deliberate and intentional about their personal finances.
Anyone who wants a better understanding of how their income tax works and effects their finances.
Those who are not confident when they file their return themselves.
Those you want to be sure they are not overpaying tax.
Those who want to save money by preparing their own return.

Slow pace, clarity of explanation; like the note taking feature; like being able to review an earlier concept. Great examples used in explanations.
