Very informative and you covered a lot of information in a short period of time. I thought there was a little extra time spent on the IRC 1244 Stock. In 22 years of preparing taxes I have never had this come up with a client. I thought the illustration of how to complete the Form 3115 was very helpful.

Love taking the classes that Nicholas teaches -- he provides actual stories along with the information to make the presentation easier to follow. Also like that he shows us the actual forms and how the information flows through them.
