Comprehensive Course: More Than Just the Building Blocks

The Comprehensive Course WEBshop is designed for individuals who have a basic level of understanding of nonresident alien tax issues. This is a fast-paced WEBshop in which the faculty will teach the "building blocks" of this complex area of the tax law. In many cases, individuals have simply been "thrown into" this area, with no instruction -- this course is designed to take someone back to the basics and learn the most efficient manner to approach this issue. There will be faculty instruction, practical examples, and case studies for each class, as well as time for individual questions. By the end of the WEBshop, all the steps are pulled together to ensure attendees get all the details, yet still see the big picture.

But the Comprehensive Course does not end after the online classes - the WEBshop continues on... Comprehensive Course registration allows participants access to ICE (Information, Communication, and Exchange) for one month after the WEBshop is completed - giving you another learning opportunity to build on your nonresident alien tax compliance knowledge base even after the WEBshop is over!

This WEBshop uses Nonresident Alien Tax Compliance: Volume One, 2024 edition; the book may be purchased prior to the WEBshop start date; however, the WEBshop participant should allow time for shipping.
