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 is the first course in a five-course US Federal Tax Specialization. It covers and focuses on the U.S. federal tax system as it relates to individuals, employees, and sole proprietors. Key concepts covered include gross income and items that are statutorily included or excluded in it, personal and business expenses that qualify as tax deductions, and the differing tax treatments for employees versus self-employed taxpayers. Unlike many other introductory courses in tax and as part of this course’s comprehensive wrap-up, learners will be provided with practical and tangible experience reporting both income and expenses on the main individual tax return used in the US, Form 1040. If you have enjoyed this course, consider enrolling in our online graduate Accounting program.

Excellent course. A lot of material covered. I must keep updating the tax information to remain current. Thanks very much for the opportunity given.

I found the information, while somewhat dated, to be an excellent course for someone who is already licensed as a CPA that needed a low-cost refresher prior to the start of tax season.
