Excellent class...especially the comprehensive color coded state charts showing which states "tax"/"do not tax" various type of trusts, and beneficiaries <<< extremely pertinent and helpful ! You would have to pay a trust attorney(s) $$$ to get this kind of info. This one item, paid for my entire year of CPE multiple x over.

I’ve used myCPE for several years. There are quite a few selections of courses and the unlimited price is great. The courses are easy to select and the reminders for upcoming webinars are helpful. Also I could not get to the handouts for my first seminar this year. The chat was very helpful in sending me the link again.
