Tax Classes

This week marks the last of my tax classes. I have really enjoyed them this year. I've learned a lot about depreciation and Schedules C and E. I learned enough to know that I have to go back and redo Jason's Schedule C for last year, but we should get some money back from that.

For those who don't know (and are interested), H&R Block has a really good training program. They require Tax Professionals to take 24 hours of training to get rehired each year, and if you take 30 hours, you can move up a certification level. And if you take 60 hours, you can move up two certification levels. I've taken over 80 hours this summer/fall. Like I said, I enjoy the classes. So, come January, I'll be a Tax Specialist 3 (I think - I might have too many credits).

Anyhow, I like knowing a lot about how to prepare taxes (no one can know everything though), and I like being able to help people. I missed out on helping people for several years, so I've got some catching up to do, and this is a good way for me to use my skills to help people. So I like it.
