Some of this was new information and incredibly helpful.
Thank you
way too much information
Audio mispronounced several words.
Just too detailed for what was needed to convey
course too long
Very interesting.
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.
I refer you company for CE to people all the time. Great job!
User friendly.
Informative
The exam question were more like case studies. They were based more on common sense responses rather than rules and regulations.
Good work
Good course covering pertinent topics!
This course should not be for insurance / or investment reps. Maybe for CPA's.
Always fair and easy material to go over
Great education
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.
Excellent introduction to these topics. On a side note though, the author seems to assume that the gig economy and ride-sharing are "good things." True, they do provide some cost savings and easy side income. I've experienced some "gig-people who were very confused by the tax implications. Neighbors do not necessarily appreciate AIRBNB participants.
Clear and effective learning materials
I like the content
The questions are hard.
Excellent CE Materials and Learning Guides!
Very ethical of you to offer an unlimited program. After all the goal is to encourage learning. Thanks
Excellent Course!
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.
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 like the Course, Thanks!
Everything was easy to follow. Thank you.
I think the audio reads too fast.
The course has not been updated.
gave very thorough examples on due diligence requirements
good class but would like to see more courses offered through out the year
Circular 230 is an in depth subject. Thanks you for make it easy to learn and understand. Great course.
The course gave me great insight on ethics for tax professionals!
I learned very useful information!
The complexity of the test was completely different than previous years, too many callculations and similiar answers that could have been correct
I've used this course for 14 years now and I absolutely love it. Thanks so much!
Web CE is reasonable priced, quality products and reports quickly.
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.
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.
GREAT COURSE
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.
This is my State requirement course. The course gave me so much new information all in one place. Excellent course.
SATISFIED
Sometimes it was not so easy to identify the answers in the provided material.
THERE WERE QUESTIONS THAT I DID NOT FIND ANSWERS TO IN THE MATERIAL
I've been using WebCE for years and I'm very pleased with the material
Great quality!
VERY EASY TO FOLLOW AND CHECK YOURSELF IF YOUR NOT SURE
Thank You
All good.
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.
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.
thank you
Very Informational
I had limited knowledge of the gig economy for tax preparation purposes.
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
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
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.
QUICK AND SIMPLE
It wasn't up to date for the 2025 tax year even though I took the class in December of 2025. Pretty frustrating since this course is a requirement for my MD license to be renewed!
Very well organized and made easy to understand and prepare for exam.
Excellent course content
MUCH better than another company's materials. Kudos
I like the audio.
Thanks was good to have options
This one was a little confusing but I think I have clarity
It is very convenient.
Need to know more about Malta and CRAT - did a lot of research and guessing
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.
Quality and clarity of updated course materials, videos and course presen tations
Some of the questions didn't match the correct answer.
EXCELLENT INFORMATION.
Very helpful update for so many new tax rule changes
Concise, clear, relevant and well organized.
easy to understand
little pricy for individuals to keep their license active
Informational, very good
Very nice
I love the courses
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.
The course fully met my expectations, providing a clear and thorough explanation of the laws, rules, and regulations governing tax preparation.
Great course!
Thank you.
Question No. 38 on this 45 question exam is not answerable based on the review material presented.
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.
It isn't until digging into the course you soon find out how much you don't know. The simple's topic becomes a challenging one. With recent changes in this category of employment, as a tax preparer one frequently is asked how to keep records and logs as an Independent Contractor. This was an excellent course.
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.
Great suppott staff
This was an excellent refresher course and serves as a reminder of our responsibility as a tax professional.
GOOD SO FAR
lots of the questions were not current answers needed to be reinvestigated
Overall, I was satisfied with the course. My only compliant is that I found it sexism that the narrative assumed that the ride-sharing drivers are "he." I understand using gender specific pronouns in the examples based on the names of the individuals in the examples. However, in the body where there is no specific person or example, it would be best to use gender neutral pronouns, like they OR s/he.
The best CE in town!
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
The Case Studies are great.
Very informative.
It seemed like a few questions were tricked questions Overall it was good courses
Provide more case studies. Thank you
The exam questions and the text did not go together
Used this company for years!
Simply excellent keep up the good work!
The course was easy to navigate and user-friendly. The learning objectives were clear and concise.
Enjoyed taking the course. It was very informative.
keep up the good work...
I have been taking this course for years and like the audio and practice tests
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.
For this module, "Gigs & Taxes - CETC" I take exception to question 3 which begins..."Uber launches robotaxi services..." My interpretation of that question is ad advertisement/promotion for Uber and the answers are fully subjective. All four answers could be correct. After studying the possible choices it became clear that the person who wrote the query was making more of a political statement (benefits of EV's, etc.) than anything that has to do with the subject at hand... taxes and tax code implementation. All four answers could be accurate (and quite frankly, are). Uber of course wants to reduce their labor cost (answer A). Of course Uber prefers arbitration rather than litigation (answer B). The whole Uber business model is dependent on expanding into traditional taxi markets (answer C). Which leads to my bottom line: Did someone at Uber contribute to the source material and write that question? Seems highly likely.
The course does not discuss tax treatment of shared housing. How do you report someone renting only one room in a big house? and how it is reported if it was rented for short times only? depreciation? expanses? etc. Also, you don't mentioned the supplement statement that Uber gives the drivers with all the fees. It's an expanse that the drivers can take but the tax expert has to ask the client for this statement so they can deduct the expanses.
good content and ease of course
On the final exam, question 5, letter D, has a typo - it is missing Schedule C. It currently says "Schedules and EC." I knew the answer, and the other three options were not correct.
Please look at the answer for Question 5 about making $11,500 for the year. I believe there is a letter missing in the correct answer. I think it should be Schedule "C" and SE.
The course was great. The only improvement I would suggest is boiling down the cluster of words used and be simple and straight-forward to make it even easier to understand.
Case studies to illustrate concepts were very helpful
Very clear, easy to follow.
Could be updated more often.
Interesting topic. Easy to tie exam back to course content
More examples would be great.
This content is outdated. We shouldn't be charged for outdated content.
Thank you!
The content should be for 2024 tax year and not for 2023
signed up for 2024 test but received 2023
good stuff
I come back every year.
Good Class, thank you
I was interesting to find that Maryland had a course with WebCe, because the course was available in the program for Tax Preparers.
I love it
