Learning Activity Study Tip
Now that the questions have gotten a bit more complicated, I’ve started using a new method to get everything organized in my head. Before I start filling out forms and schedules, I will now go through the learning activity question and try…
So Many Forms!
One thing that has definitely changed from the Comprehensive Tax Course to the Advanced Level I Tax Course is the number of forms and schedules involved. Sometimes I actually feel a bit overwhelmed. I’ll usually read the learning activity and will have…
