2023 Exam Cycle Registration for Preparing to Practice Before the US Tax Court
Opens July 1, 2022
The program is designed to prepare tax professionals to pass the U.S. Tax Court written nonattorney admission exam administered biannually. In our live in-person lecture series we present material in the four subject areas tested, including Practice and Procedure, Evidence, Legal Ethics and Federal Taxation, along with test-taking strategies and a synopsis of Tax Court cases. We teach you the topics, not just prior exams questions, so you can still answer appropriately even when a question changes. Our text and program materials use prior scored Tax Court exam questions that are updated each year for current law and procedures. We offer a private Forum and a student-only-access area of our website where you’ll find online content so you can study any time (content includes assignment modules, recorded webinars, recorded live class sessions, an Evidence webinar series created by a law professor, court case synopsis, and more).
