Course Description

Learn everything about Tax Accounting in 2 hours.


What are my students saying:

"Much better than my $4,000 graduate course. Very interesting videos with a lot of information. I particularly like the videos for applying what I learned. Those questions are very good for understanding better."

"Thank you for an amazing course. I was so interested in tax accounting (strange, right?) I just kept pushing play. Great videos, very informative and engaging. I was not bored for even a minute. Most importantly, I learned a lot."

"The course is really informative. I like that the lectures are made with very interesting drawings and great visuals, instead of someone reading a power point. Good course."

"This course is very engaging, and surprisingly for a tax accounting, not boring at all. I wish I had courses like this during my college days. High quality videos, great exercises and application. This is a 10 stars course!"

"Wow! I cannot even begin to compare this course to the tax course I am taking at my university. Everything is very well explained, and not one information is omitted. I am so glad I found this course. Much, much easier to understand."


More about this course:

I believe that you should not fall asleep when learning something new. You need to be encouraged and excited instead. In order to be excited about learning, you need to understand easily. I have implemented a new way of teaching. Animated videos which are easy to understand. Learning has never been so exciting.

In this course you will find everything explained with a video lecture. The type of lectures are animated (cartoon) videos that break down the most difficult concepts used in tax accounting.

Depending on your commitment, this course can take you somewhere from a week to few weeks to complete. The curriculum is designed as such, so that you will retain the information you will receive.

Whether you are a business owner, manager, or a student, you need this course. This course will provide you with great tools and information about tax accounting, tax law and its application.

I love the fact that Instructor Stefan makes it simple to understand - I have had several tax classes and books and study guides and never could understand all the rulings and exceptions, and he broke it down in a way that it finally clicked for me. I especially like the scenarios in the exemption exercises as it let me test my knowledge and figure out tricky situations.

By Jesus Alejandro Ruizesparza on 9/10/2024

I think the course and content is good, just wish the questions would be a little more challenging, or that for the knowledge application/ checks, there were explanations or breakdowns of why the answer is what it is. Instead of simply a circling of the correct answer.

By Abigail L on 5/25/2024

This is a fast-paced course that pushes the students to intentionally listen and understand. Use the pause button and think about what you are learning! I appreciated all the examples. I would have liked an overview of the course at the beginning.

By Rinjo Dacer on 3/29/2023

The module is very engaging has a lot of practice exercises. This is really helpful in simulating the learners into applying the concepts taught in this module.

By Joyce Furlong on 1/18/2023

Great information that is well organized. Concepts lead to the next topic logically. Lessons move along at a good speed and are easily paused to hear again or take notes. The sound is a bit muddy but I can hear it ok. Teacher speaks clearly and is easy to understand.

By Sandra M. Jackson on 8/30/2020

The content is good but the screens are moving too fast to take notes. So, I just used the pause button a lot. It was a good course because it covered several important issues for me. I am happy I took the time to take the course and very thankful you offered it.

By Tiffany Harness on 3/25/2020

The instructor gives many examples and speaks in very easy to understand terms. I like being able to pause to write my notes or go back in the video to clarify anything as I go through the course.

By Roopa Rachel Alexander on 4/18/2018

This was an interesting course with a lot of exercises to reinforce learning. The presentation and graphics made it easier to follow the subject matter.

By Jack Reznick on 1/17/2017

Much better than my $4,000 graduate course. Very interesting videos with a lot of information. I particularly like the videos for applying what I learned. Those questions are very good for understanding better.

By Swan Cheng on 1/15/2017

The course provided a very good overview. There should be an expanded section on section 1231, 1245 and 1250 with examples to test the students knowledge. Also, there should also be an elaboration and explanation of of ACRS depreciation and MACRS depreciation. It will be helpful for students to see depreciation schedules under both methods showing the depreciable assets at cost, amount of depreciation taken for this year and the amount of depreciation left over for next year.
