Training Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
For over ten years, our nonresident alien tax workshops have been attended by tax managers, controllers, finance officers, payroll and accounting managers, as well as IRS agents and other tax practitioners. These are the original Nonresident Alien Tax Compliance Workshops - this type of training was created by our tax professionals who have taught these classes for years and are constantly updating the materials to reflect changes in the laws.

B – Beginning Level :
Generally for those with less than 2 years of experience in this topic
Depending on the time of year and the issues of particular interest, we always suggest combining topics and supplementing the Comprehensive and Intensive Level workshops.
If you have any questions about which workshops to combine or what is the correct level for you, just call us at 202. 223. 4583! Can I attend all of the workshops? The information in the Comprehensive Level and Intensive Level workshops are not designed to be taken during the same workshop series. We generally require that a period of time be allowed between the Comprehensive Level and Intensive Level workshop. We do suggest the Intensive Level and Update of the Issues workshops be taken together, they are a perfect combination.
We also suggest the Immigration Issues for the the Tax/Payroll Professional,
Form I-9, Are You Ready to Report? FOCUS: Update, Review and Design, Income
Tax Treaties and Nonresident Alien Tax Compliance workshops be combined with
any other workshop to supplement the discussion - each workshop will allow
participants to better understand the overlap of these complex issues.
