Michael Boyle, AFSP

I’ve got a final return and estate to work on the horizon and intentionally took this course on demand from Mr. Reynolds. The on demand format gives you greater flexibility. He is a top-notch instructor and his handouts are always a great reference source. You can count on it – then focus on taking notes and capturing invaluable second order detail. I highly recommend the course.

The "Exploring Decedent Estates and the Final 1040" webinar was great! It provided a wealth of important information, breaking down complex topics into clear, actionable steps. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with final filings of 1040 or the Estate's 1041!
