Professor Curatola presented an informative, complete course. He is an outstanding teacher, starting with a baseline of information and taking the time to comprehensively explain examples, ensure participants were keeping-up, and following-up the polling questions to reinforce learning. Really outstanding.

Janie Zencak, CPA (US)

This was a great presentation. I liked the real examples, the review of the tax court case, and the simplicity of the presentation. When I took my advanced tax class in school, it was presented in such a complicated way. This was very understandable.
