I really like that you can just take the exam right away. Very helpful and time saving.
I enjoyed learning the material. I did not like the questions. Some of them were made to trick you where you had to choose the "most right" answer instead of there being just one correct answer. This is the first time I ran into this on WebCE.
Making the audible reading feature (a) automatically continue, and (more importantly b) make the speed controllable! (I had to find a workaround automation for this deficit) Thank you!
Very informative course. I enjoyed the learning experience.
Appendix A- Capital Gains Tax Rates is missing Pennsylvania
This course on IRS type of scams had a lot of repeat material. It could have been condensed shorter. Also I realized I should have bought a custom course or create my own bundle instead to this package to study topics of my interest.
This course was very informative, well written, and easy to follow - which greatly enhanced the learning process.
The virtual voice/Ai voice was awful. dronelike and bad pauses and inflections hard to listen to.
On the test with the 2026 Annual Tax Season Update, I found question 42 confusing: • 42. Carol wants to participate in the voluntary Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP) for preparing 2025 individual 1040 tax returns. By what latest date must she complete any required continuing education? (Search Chapter 7) o a. December 31, 2025 o b. January 31, 2025 o c. February 15, 2025 o d. April 15, 2025 Shouldn't the CE be completed by December 2024 if you were doing taxes in 2025?
Q 15 of the exam lists forms 8282 and 8863. I am not sure that form 8863 exists, but it was not mentioned in the text.
I always use WebCe for my mandatory exams.
Excellent course content.
Extremely informative and I learned so very much!!!!
Well documented and presented but worth more than 1 hour credit!
Some of this was new information and incredibly helpful.
way too much information
Just too detailed for what was needed to convey
course too long
This is my first course and I didn't interpret clearly that the audio would be read aloud. I just stopped it at the beginning of each page as I prefer to read silently.
The exam question were more like case studies. They were based more on common sense responses rather than rules and regulations.
Very confusing due to lack of initial knowledge on subject. A lot to the course.
It did not have as much content as other WebCE courses I have taken.
Good course covering pertinent topics!
The voice reading the text was VERY distracting -- with the off beat inflection
This course is fine for a CPA or accounting professional. It is entirely too detailed about very unique aspects of tax returns when testing CFP professionals.
The background and examples of 1031 exchanges was excellent.
Always fair and easy material to go over
Not sure why one of the test questions is asking for a specific section of the tax code.
The contents were well selected and timely. I liked the indept look at scammers and the IRS dirty 12. The ponzi schemes was effective.
Clear and effective learning materials
The questions are hard.
Excellent CE Materials and Learning Guides!
This is the most legalese-typed course in this group. Glad to get through it
I don’t like the auto reed video too fast and not a good reeder voice
Excellent Course!
This was a good course as an overview of different business entities.
Good test
The exam that was given with this course does not match the materials of the course at all. I completed the course and then none of the questions were relevant to the materials. Fortunately I was familiar with enough of the exam questions that I was able to pass the exam and gain my certificate.
SOME OF THIS TOPIC CAN BE HARD TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND DUE TO SO MANY SUBCATEGORIES OF INFORMATION. SCORED PERFECTLY ON THE QUIZ, SO MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT YOU TAUGHT IT PERFECTLY. I'LL STILL NEED A MENTOR FOR SOME OF IT, BUT I THINK YOU'VE GIVEN ME THE CONFIDENCE AND THE TRAINING TO PURSUE IT. EXCELLENT JOB.
GOOD FOCUS. I WISH THERE WAS MORE OBBBA FORWARD-LOOKING MATERIAL IN THIS COURSE, HOWEVER, YOU OFFER ONEINDEPENDENTLY, AND THIS PARTICULAR COURSE WAS PREPARED TIMELY FOR 2025 RETURNS, OS I THINK YOU DID VERY WELL WITH WHAT YOU WERE GIVEN TO WORK WITH. EXCELLENT JOB, AND THANKS FOR THE ADDITIONAL COURSEWORK THAT BUILDS ON THIS!
I am a real estate rental owner and did not need much study time Matierials were excellent.
Well organized and practical examples
This was a good course and I learned a few things.
I like the Course, Thanks!
Everything was easy to follow. Thank you.
I think the audio reads too fast.
gave very thorough examples on due diligence requirements
The information was confusing at times and I had unanswered questions.
Circular 230 is an in depth subject. Thanks you for make it easy to learn and understand. Great course.
I have a question regarding when you review the incorrect answer on the test they don't provide you with the correct answer. Why?
The course gave me great insight on ethics for tax professionals!
Great course!
VERY HELPFUL THE AUDIO WAS PERFECT SPEED
I find it awkward and time consuming to go back to content for re-reading while answering Practice Questions....I found the language in some places difficult to follow as to what is meant....for example, language as to converted residence to rental property basis is not clear as to the different basis to be used for depreciation vs gain/loss calculations
The complexity of the test was completely different than previous years, too many callculations and similiar answers that could have been correct
Excelente material muy dinamico y practico
I always have trouble getting back into my courses from the home page
the various tax forms should be in glossary with comparative flow
Some of the questions and the reference Chapter noted on the question was not correct. For example questions relating to the Direct File were in Chapter 1 and not Chapter 7.
This was an exceptionally well-presented course. Complex topic, but clearly explained. Thank you.
I really appreciate the "Read-it-to-me audio". Didn't know how much until I took the 2026 Annual Federal Tax Refresher course that did not have this feature. There are a few subjects that I would dearly love to see CE courses available for. If/when you provide CE for Truck drivers returns, NOLs, AMT, and certain (OR, CA, NM, NY, LA) individual state returns, I will be first in line to order them.
On question 5 the use of the term sanctioned for his dumb error of paying the 941 taxes timley would I'm sure at best have only penalty and interest to pay unless it was a chronic problem with the preparer.
Not all Reps get involved with 1031 Exchanges, but this is a good course for those who do.
Sometimes it was not so easy to identify the answers in the provided material.
Great quality!
VERY EASY TO FOLLOW AND CHECK YOURSELF IF YOUR NOT SURE
The content would have been more engaging as a presentation vs long blocks of text
I like the course, material provided. The enable reading audio was a plus. I think we could benefit of more real life examples, more like todays date situations.
The audio is very helpful.
I like that I can read at my own pace and make notes. I don't have to wait for the time clock to move on as I'm a fast reader.
The course is very well organized with good examples and very easy to understand.
Especially this year, there were a great deal of changes to tax law. I feel you spent too much time explaining what the old law were before going into what the new law is. I already know what the old law is, so a simple rehash, perhaps under the heading "Current Law" would be sufficient
The course was a lot harder than I expected with all the various tax form and line item reporting. It confirmed to me that I have no desire to become a CPA and why a CFP Professional should always defer to a qualified tax advisor on tax related issues, especially charitable contributions and donations.
pls update to make smooth transitions from your older original course with the currently added materials, to display in your course summaries
easy to operate the course
There were two questions that had incorrect answers. The converted residence to a rental should have $111,000 as the lesser of the basis or FMV upon the conversion is the starting basis. The question with the answer 105,000 capital gain/30,000 recapture was not correct as the asset had been held more than 1 year and straight-line depreciation was used. It should have 135,000 capital gain. This course was pathetic.
it is very userfriendly and nicely covered
I was told this course would cover all of the Big Beautiful Act. It sisn't
Issues with the technology for during the practice portion some of my answers I selected, were recorded under a different letter. For example, I would select A and instead it was recorded as C or D. Also, the questions on the exam should be worded better.
Very well organized and made easy to understand and prepare for exam.
Excellent course content
Good value and topics updated for current tax law OBBB
This one was a little confusing but I think I have clarity
Have used WebCE courses for my continuing education and AFSP qualification for many years, have found the knowledge and refresher courses very helpful!
I especially liked the examples given in the chapters
Course was great.
A narrater that is a bit more engaging would help.
This was a fun course. I would provide more examples of people getting caught and the courts penalties, as they are memorable and interesting.
Some of the questions didn't match the correct answer.
One of your questions needs to be modified on the exam. For my exam it was question 43 (I copied it below). Either the question needs the year to change to 2026 so the appropriate answer of 12/31/2025 will be correct. Or one of the ansers needs to be chaned to 12/31/2024. 2026 Annual Tax Season Update 43. Carol wants to participate in the voluntary Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP) for preparing 2025 individual 1040 tax returns. By what latest date must she complete any required continuing education? a. December 31, 2025 b. January 31, 2025 c. February 15, 2025 d. April 15, 2025
Very helpful update for so many new tax rule changes
I have been using Web CE for 10 years. I think the program is very good. It has a variety of topics that are needed. I will continue using them for as long as I need to do continuing education
easy to understand
Most courses take more time to complete than stated
little pricy for individuals to keep their license active
My understanding of 1031 exchange was very minimal until I took this class, I scored a 100 on the exam. That tells you how awesome the material was.
Whew! I just knew I had missed something - I was hesitant about a few questions. I did great!
Better and more examples of problems leading to sanctions and related penalties for violations would enhance the content
Even there were just 10 questions - they were quite tricky. I did have to go back to review the chapters.
question 13 was not too clear to me, Frankly was confuse to me, Make question To test knowledge . do strait question i am not a lawyer

It provides clear explanations of tax law, rules, and regulations, along with structured practice questions to reinforce learning. Users are encouraged to review each section thoroughly, apply the concepts to real-world scenarios, and use the guide as a reliable reference throughout their exam preparation.
The course fully met my expectations, providing a clear and thorough explanation of the laws, rules, and regulations governing tax preparation.
I was unable to download the course materials.
Great course. Thanks!
Over emphasis on where to report amounts (i.e., form and line numbers). All preparers use tax software to do that. I remember because I used to file by hand! But this not the most important learning objective. Also, several errors in material.
Am disappointed that I cannot save the course material for future reference as in the past. I often go my saved CE file and review during tax season. I cannot do that now.
Question No. 38 on this 45 question exam is not answerable based on the review material presented.
I received an "access denied" message trying to print the course materials in a PDF File and had to use the secondary option of printing them to a browser window. Also, I believe the answer to Question 1 (Hyde Park Corporation) may be wrong. Because it was a corporation and the straight-line depreciation method was used, it was forced to account for 20% of the $30,000 depreciation ($6000) as ordinary income. . So of the $135K gain, it should have been a $6000 of ordinary income and $129,000 of sec. 1231 gain. ...I think.
Material did not seem to flow in order. It jumped from one thought to another thought and was hard to follow. However, overall good education.
This year the course was a little harder to go through but was able to again learn more than from where I started. For this reason, I like this course.
What I thought was going to be the least difficult course turned out to be the most difficult. I found out there were so much to learn about donation rules which I rarely run into. I admit it was rather painful going through it but soon started to feel accomplished. Thank you!
The information was basic. Was hoping for more in-depth information.
Some of the practice questions and exam questions did not provide enough detail to confirm an answer. Often had to make assumptions to select an answer. Also, the chapter descriptions were not helpful for going back and trying to review a specific topic. It was easier to search the IRS website and tax return forms to clarify my understanding of a topic to be able to answer practice questions rather than review the course materials that were sometimes oddly organized and difficult to reference.
This was an excellent refresher course and serves as a reminder of our responsibility as a tax professional.
Now, how do I get my 1 hour of Tax CE credit to IWI for my CIMA accreditation?
lots of the questions were not current answers needed to be reinvestigated
The course give out alot of examples that help the learners to understand easily.
I really liked that there was audio with the lessons because I would read on my own and then listen to the audio to make sure I understood and read it correctly
A little more explanation on some of the examples
The Case Studies are great.
Very informational
Provide more case studies. Thank you
The AI voice is annoying and hard to listen too.
Would like more on out-of-pocket expenses for charities, less on donated property. Otherwise, it was fine.
I have been involved in like-kind exchanges for many years, both as a tax preparer and tax planner. I thought your course was excellent!
When reviewing incorrect answers on the exam there is no indication of the wrong student answer and the correct answer
One of your sample answers is incorrect. You ignopred a negative for a positive.
Did a good job of piecing out a pretty complex topic
understandable language and great examples
Course material helped me understand the subject.
Enjoyed taking the course. It was very informative.
Thank You Very thorough and complete information. Ease in reading and comprehending info. Ease in going back to refresh info and resolve if practice questions were not clear,
technical content , but 5 questions on exam was perfect.
Excellent Course.
One question was about unscrupulous CPAs. In the chapter test promising "free" was the right answer. In the the final test promising "free" prep was the wrong answer. Might be a problem here.
As a CFP, I would really like to see a CE course on using residential real estate in financial planning. This course was more intended for accountants.
Need many more specific depreciation example scenarios.
Perhaps not wording the questions in a negative (eg. which one is NOT) would be better testing quetions
I took an open-book exam expecting to have access to the necessary materials, but none were provided. It felt like being set up to fail. There was no guidance, no feedback on which answers were correct or incorrect, and no support during the process. The entire experience was poorly designed and lacked transparency. If you're going to call it "open book," at least make sure the book exists. This needs serious improvement.
I feel the time could be a little more.
Case studies to illustrate concepts were very helpful
the audio could be a little less monotoned
This course required way more time than I got credit for.
The practice question sets were very thorough, moreso than in the other 20 program I've completed here. The detailed calculation scenarios were particularly helpful for me.
The construction accounts were never covered
I feel this course was at a far higher level than my position requires, or is allowed to use. I cannot give tax advice, nor is it in my field. I felt largely overwhelmed by the course.
Wording on question 5. suggests you're looking to ask about the completion of the exchange not the identification of property. Could be less ambiguous.
videos would be very helpful on this course.
Excellent course
So far I have found some of the questions with the first session I took had inadequate information 2025 Annual tax season update. In section 1 with the overview Q4 had the total amounts do not add up correctly. There should of been an answer at $5885 w/o the tire repair included! but all the amounts were wrong so I just picked the closest answer and again it happened in Chap. 4 Disposing of a car quiz question 1. Answer was off by $11,560 & you showed only an answer of 12,740?; Then quiz question 3 was off as well you showed $27,000 - $11,620 does not equal $16,080! should of had an answer of $15,380, again had to choose the closest answer possible.
Course was very clear and understandable. Thank you!
I came across at least three errors in the practice tests. (Chapter 1 test, Fred driving 8500 and then paying parking and tolls. Chapter 4 Carolyn drove 14000 miles '22-'24. And Dan driving 16k in '22, 14k in '23, and 12k in '24). For all of these there were no correct answer. Even when I selected the answer that you marked as "correct" the math in your explanation didn't equal the answer that you provided. This was very frustrating as it lead to me questioning every answer from there on out in the session. I never knew if I wasn't getting to correct answer because I didn't know the content or if it was because you simply didn't provide the correct answer on the test. For a company whose sole purpose is continuing education... this seems like a pretty glaring misstep!
Math errors in practice section 1 and 4
I really like your courses and how they are presented and the use of back and forth to review the content. However, the narrator, which I am guessing to be an AI, has a problem with pronunciation of acronyms and some words. Maybe it is just me, but I find this very distracting and find myself going back to reread the previous paragraph often to make sure I understand what was meant . You might want to listen to the 1031 exchange portion of this course to get an idea of what I am talking about.
This course explained "boot" well. I found that to be a very confusing topic when I was originally studying for the EA exam (12 years ago.)
So much tax detail for so little testing!
Starting with chapter 4, there are numerous errors. Missing 'un', missing commas, practice questions with no correct answers because amounts were incorrect. Need another set of eyes to review it SOON.
this should be worth more than just an hour of CE because it was definitely way more time consuming than one hour
There is a question that goes "In determining whether the exchanger has held the property 'long enough' to qualify for a 1031 exchange, which factor is least likely to be considered?" I chose 'primary occupation'. This can be interpreted in either 1 of 2 ways: Primary occupation of the property or primary occupation of the residence. This question was ambiguous considering some of the answers were related to the property and others were related to the owner.
This course was too long and cumbersome for the one credit provided.
I found this course complex but worth doing, especially how to calculate ordinary gain versus long term gain.
Way too long for 1 credit
The flexibility and ease to navigate through the course.
A lot of material - could be condensed.
Excellent course, thank you
Instructor had a sense of humor! Course was fun as well as very informative. IRS documents could have been annotated and explained a bit more, mostly reminded me that anyone wanting to do an exchange should contact an extremely qualified QI and a tax attorney before embarking on it.
This was a good course. I have a pretty working knowledge of this area because I prepare Schedule C Businesses for Sole Proprietors and vehicle expenses are often a large expense item. However, I still still felt I learned some new things.
This course was much more technical and difficult than other 2 unit courses.
This course increased my knowledge and understanding of the subject material.
This was a very good course. It educated me on the topics very well and I learned alot.
This course had great examples which makes the learning and understanding much easier.
Well organized and easy to understand. Thank you very much.
Please review Question 21 Response B. I believe it is written wrong. Used Employer twice and think maybe it is supposed to be Employee and Employer. Thank you
Unlike some other courses, this course seemed somewhat repetitive. Many of the topics were reiterated across a number of the sections.
Good course and content
2023 rules used for 2024 course. Form 2106 classes confusing since only certain groups qualify to use this form and it should be made clearer. Some typos in course questions.
courses are for learning tax law, rules and regulations - not providing correct answers to Exam errors does not further that learning and education goal
Great course! Good job!
Instructive.
I guess you should provide the Wrong Answer to the Question when Test is Failed just to know what mistakes we made for not to pass the TEST
Errors and mistakes make learning difficult
Pointed out areas that I was not fully aware of,
At the end after taking exam I would like to know the Answer to the wrong Question just to make sure that my answer were matching Thanks
