Since this was the first time I attended a webinar with myCPE, I appreciated the tip to toggle away from full screen in order to answer polls. Thanks!

Ethics is core in Taxation. Understanding what is right and wrong for making distinction between acceptable and not per regulations in a given scenario, accordingly tax professional needs training to make an informed judgment. This refresher webinar by the Respected Lady Presenter satisfies this learning need. Highly recommended. Thanks

Thank you for providing free, knowledgeable, and easy-to-use webinars for CPE credit. I was so lost on how to earn CPE credits once I first got my license, but these webinars have helped relieve that anxiety. Thank you - your work is truly appreciated on this lifelong learning experience! :)

I used the web browser version. There were two occasions where the screen froze. The first resulted in exiting and reentering the class and the second resolved on its own. Other than that, functionality was fine and it was a good experience.
