The instructor provided a well paced, interesting, and conversational presentation. The content was pertinent and covered all the current tax issues. The research and discussions on current legislative was excellent and greatly appreciated. As a result, the 5.5 hour session was very engaging and went by quickly. Including the polling questions in the slide decks was also a nice touch. Thank you for such a great presentation all around.

The title was a bit confusing, but the class was a very in-depth update on individual and business taxes plus FinCEN, BOI, retirement plans, etc. The presenter knows what he's talking about and it was a good chance to learn and update my tax knowledge.
