About the Course

NOTE: Course Update Coming Soon! We’re currently updating this course to reflect major changes to U.S. tax law made by the 2025 legislation commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. An updated version of the course will launch in early 2026, with revised lessons, examples, and explanations that align with the new law. In the meantime, please note that some content may reflect pre-2025 rules. This course examines the U.S. federal tax system as it relates to property transactions of business owners and shareholders. Topics include cost recovery, such as depreciation, amortization, and depletion; calculation of realized versus recognized gains and losses; evaluation of the potential tax effects of nontaxable exchanges; and the combining, or netting, gains and losses that are different in nature. Assignments facilitate self-discovery of knowledge and development of a variety of professional skills....

As a newbie in US taxes, this course was a game-changer! It demystified the complexities of business property taxation and laid a solid foundation for my US tax journey. The video transcripts were a lifesaver for quick chapter revisits, and the real-life examples made everything crystal clear. My only wish is that it had included an end-of-course Excel practice session on property taxes to test my progress and maybe some bonus resources for further exploration. That would have made it truly unbeatable!

The course content was great and the instructor presented things very clearly.

However, there were a lot of mistakes in the quizzes and knowledge checks, which could at times be quite confusing and frustrating. I reported the errors and hope that they will be fixed in time.

In sum, I highly recommend taking the course if you have use for knowledge of tax accounting.

I really enjoyed the course. It was simple to follow and didn't cause me any stress. I'll continue to the rest of the courses in the certification. I wish however they'd have more examples and more animations for such examples.
