Why are the tax courses based on last year's tax law?

All tax courses are based on prior year’s tax laws because the new tax forms are not available and the new laws are not finalized until the end of the year or later. Curriculum is updated to the most current tax laws during the first and second quarters of the year. This is true of all tax schools. We publish a Tax Law Update Seminar in November each year with the tax changes that have been finalized as of that date.
