Virginia Tech Income Tax School

Virtual seminars are a two-day continuing education program that provides an intensive study of the tax law and regulations governing individuals and small businesses.

The seminars are designed for both CPAs (Certified Public Accountants) and EAs (Enrolled Agents) to receive their annual continuing education credits, but tax professionals who want to learn more for the coming tax season are welcome. Preparation of both federal and state taxes will be covered. Experienced CPAs, EAs, Virginia Tech faculty, and the IRS will examine new tax laws and their implications.  We offer continuing and professional education through the IRS, Virginia Board of Accountancy, and CFP.
