Comprehensive Level

The Comprehensive Level workshop is designed for individuals who have a basic level of understanding of nonresident alien tax issues and have worked in the area for about a year. This is a fast-paced workshop 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 section, as well as time for individual questions. By the end of the workshop, all the steps are pulled together to ensure attendees get all the details, yet still see the big picture.

The Comprehensive Level workshop uses Nonresident Alien Tax Compliance: Volume One, 2024 edition as its manual. Workshop attendees are required to have the Volume One, 2024 edition text with them at the workshop; attendees may bring their own copy or purchase one in addition to their workshop registration.

This is a Luncheon workshop and discussion; lunch will be provided as a part of this session.
