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
Train the AI speaker to properly speak, especially line numbers 8h (not 8 hours), 8l (not 8 liters), and Schedule A (not schedule uh). While humorous, to me, it could be misleading.
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!
Thank you.
Your site allows us the flexibility and quality of content we need in our office. Thank you.
This course should not be for insurance / or investment reps. Maybe for CPA's.
The background and examples of 1031 exchanges was excellent.
I love the fact that you have self study and time management skills
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
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.
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.
I like the Course, Thanks!
Everything was easy to follow. Thank you.
I think the audio reads too fast.
EV Credit info needs updating. Re: BBB expiration dates
WebCE is my only go-to for education of this sort. Easy to use portal and material is very relevant and up-to-date. Everything is easy to understand.
Timing alocated to each topic was not enough. I enjoyed the course and learnt what I was supposed to learn. Good work!
gave very thorough examples on due diligence requirements
good class but would like to see more courses offered through out the year
This course was really good. I enjoyed the combination of learning about Property in a combination of real estate, stock, etc.
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!
difficult to find such a great resource!
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
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.
1. As to time ....lots of nits and nats in the content (and the law!) that requires very carefully reading.....more like for a 3 CPE credit hour course 2. The audio has to be activated with each slide.....never saw how I could select to be automatic
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.
SATISFIED
Sometimes it was not so easy to identify the answers in the provided 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
All Good.
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'm enjoying the information. Its clear and precise and I can read at the pace I want
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.
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
The AI reading of the materials is hilarious! Line 8I becomes 8 liters! Line 24h reads 24 hours! And it can't read minus signs at all!
easy to operate the course
Great service. Thanks.
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
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
Ordering form again!
This one was a little confusing but I think I have clarity
doesn't sem like a 2 credit course more like a6 or 7 credit course
Course was effective with materials and training provided. Quick course and reading with examples very helpful. Exam provided what chapter to read for information pertaining to the question. Like this course and would recommend to anyone wanting refreshed or updates or for someone trying to learn about filing status and dependency.
Great~!
Need to know more about Malta and CRAT - did a lot of research and guessing
Course was great.
So many variables to remember
A narrater that is a bit more engaging would help.
I am glade I was able to complete my CE requirement on my computer. Mainly the knowledge base ambeded in the material is priceless! Thank you.
been with you for long time and it had been very good
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.
very easy to digest
The examples were very effective. Thank you for including examples!
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
Awesome
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.
Good 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.
Great course! Thanks!
I like the use of the word "prorated" when describing percentage of use.
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.
satisfied
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.
The course was a little confusing for me regarding alimony under the TCJA. It seemed to be saying that it was deductible by the payer and to be included by the recipient.
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
The information was basic. Was hoping for more in-depth information.
This was an excellent refresher course and serves as a reminder of our responsibility as a tax professional.
GOOD SO FAR
Some of the exam answers are more like common sense thinking vs. re-review the chapter(s).
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.
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
One sample question (answer) incorrectly implied that a non working person can claim dependent care credit - making correct answer impossible
A little more explanation on some of the examples
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!
Very challenging
In regard to chapter 4 for the same sex marriage, it was somewhat confusing as to what the question answer was. I would recommend that the language used for that section in the material be put forth a little more clearly.
Simply excellent keep up the good work!
understandable language and great examples
Enjoyed taking the course. It was very informative.
Thank You
Very informative course
Great courses and timely information.
I love the WebCE courses!
Make a clear and direct approach on explaining the rules and examples.
I want updates that apply for the 2025 tax year.
keep up the good work...
Great course, well done
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.
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.
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.
Need many more specific depreciation example scenarios.
Over detailed
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.
more examples of single parents and child support issues
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.
I feel the time could be a little more.
Case studies to illustrate concepts were very helpful
Enjoyable course. Laws and application was excellent!!
As always, Thank you.
As someone who is also a real estate agent, that was easy for me.
Great course
videos would be very helpful on this course.
I referred another CPA to WebCE today.
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.
Rey nice
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.)
Learn something new every time! Thank you
So much tax detail for so little testing!
Needs to be updated.
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.
Good job
Interesting topic. Easy to tie exam back to course content
Thank you for being the BEST CE provider.
I found this course complex but worth doing, especially how to calculate ordinary gain versus long term gain.
All is well.
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.
THANKS AGAIN AGAIN AND AGAIN
This course was much more technical and difficult than other 2 unit courses.
Domestic Production Activities was listed as a topic but there was no information about it. It was in the glossary though.
Could the print be any smaller on the printout?
First of all I love WebCE and I did okay on this course. It was adequate but I felt some of the questions and answers were confusing and one was sort of an opinion. For example, one question asked what is not an uncommon deduction (I believe). There is a double negative, and "uncommon" is subjective to different practices and clientele.
Informative and well presented.
The first section was REALLY long and could be divided into two sections.
rECOMNDED
thank you , great course
The answer to one of the final questions was incorrect or the text material was incorrect. The text stated that performing artist could deduct expenses if they exceed 10% of income. In the final question, the expenses did not exceed 10% of income.
In the figures, there are some un-upgrade version in metric. Not changed the old data.
This course increased my knowledge and understanding of the subject material.
I like how you added examples in each lesson it help me to understand more THANKS
This was a very good course. It educated me on the topics very well and I learned alot.
Get an app
I want some short videos included to help me retain content and to break the continuous reading format.
Question #10- It was horrible. There was No Prior Information or Example of the question although it ended up on a quiz. I didnt like the question at all.
clear and ease of use
Great examples
Well organized and easy to understand. Thank you!!
very good
This course had great examples which makes the learning and understanding much easier.
It was easy to understand and it definitely helped me understand and remember
WELL WRITTEN MATERIALS FOR A REFRESHER COURSE.
Great course, thank you
This course is great for tax preparers, its easy to do and has the most recent information and well prepared training for us.
Questions on exam were oddly stated, for example, putting the pronouns for her and he in that order. What happened to the universal "he". Woke exam?
Great course and easy to navigate!
Excellent
Best ever.
Great work
Excellent material
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
I listened carefully Thank you again.
I noticed in a couple of the chapters, some of the materials used for examples were not updated correctly, which caused a bit of confusion. You need someone to go through and THUROUGHLY proof read the materials and make sure everything is updated.
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
USE of "Cannot" and "Can" in test questions were designed to be "TRICKY" in several instances.
Information is very likely to grasp and absorb.
Very good and detailed review.
This was awesome course with great knowledge material.
Error on page 32. Second example indicates $220,000 is greater than $230,00. I believe the first figure was intended to be larger.
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.
Don't like the computer voice for instructor. Real person would be nice.
Very knowledgeable!
Easy to read
Very user-friendly.
EXCELLENT COURSE
Great Material and course structure
Instructive.
excellent course
Appreciate option to print materials to help with maintaining knowledge from cpe course.
Worth time.
very explanatory
EXCELLENT!!
Easy to understand and navigate. Thanks
VERY GOOD
Easy to follow. Clear and concise.
THE WRITTEN MATERIAL NEED A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION.
I like the illustration in the course.
happy with this course.
Very easy
Good course!
Thank you for adding the audio, it helps so much.
on practice question #2 in chapter 3. your question states that Roxanne paid $3350 in student loan interest in 2024 . how much can she deduct on sch 1 of her 2022 tax return ? typos should say "deduct on sch1 on her 2024 tax return"
very useful information in course for my tax work.
Errors and mistakes make learning difficult
thank you!
met expectations
More interactivity, visuals, and graphics.
Good content and helpful examples of the filing status and dependency rules.
the reading of the text with the auto play function is poorly done. the reader sounds like a computer and a more appropriate narrative with voice credibility could be identified.
