Our proprietary Professional Training System combines traditional textbook courses with online interactive questions and Practice Tax Returns (PTR). Each chapter in the course is the foundation for the next. After each chapter, the student will complete a PTR and review questions.
Practice Tax Returns are in PDF format and include links to the necessary forms to complete a tax return by hand. The Practice Tax Return will have its own set of review questions. Returns containing Schedule A are prepared with state income tax withholding on line 5 and the additional state-specific taxes such as CASI. PTRs are based on the material covered in the chapter.
