The instructor was highly knowledgeable and managed to explain complex concepts in a comprehensive manner that made sense. The best aspect was his use of real-life examples to demonstrate how information flows from one schedule to another, and how amounts are carried from one line to the next, capturing everything. I particularly enjoyed the topics on trade or business, especially real estate and NIIT, and the strategies to mitigate them. The section on capital gains from the sale of business property was very insightful, detailing the treatment of certain items and the applicable tax rates. I am looking forward to attending the workshop on business returns for flow-through entities with him as well. Great job!

Brian Midwin, CPA (US)

The presenter is thorough, but with the materials provided could easily have extended this part of the course to twelve hours. I assume the same is true for the second part of the course! He alternates well between explaining principles and applying them to the case of the Sampsons.
