Created by real tax professionals and supported by a team that works exclusively with accountants, thousands rely on the Federal Tax Update each year to do their best work.

Why Choose This Update?

Real-World Clarity, Not Theoretical Complexity

You don’t need 600 pages of regulation rehash. You need smart, real-world explanations of what’s new, what’s urgent, and what’s actually being enforced.

  • Get ahead of IRS enforcement priorities, new tax court decisions, and late-breaking legislation.
  • Hear how seasoned tax pros are already handling these changes in real life.
  • Learn what matters and skip what doesn’t.

What You'll Get:

Comprehensive Coverage That Doesn’t Waste Your Time

Get added features from FlexCast to tackle unnecessary hassles.
FlexCast is our exclusive format that blends the best of webcasts and self-study: •Watch on your schedule. Pause, rewind, or break it into multiple sessions. •No exam. Just check in briefly during your viewing to confirm attendance. •Pick up where you left off. Return anytime with full progress tracking.

Why It’s Different:

Expert Instructors Who Still Practice
You won't hear dry summaries or abstract theory. You’ll learn from working professionals who live this material every day. •Our instructors are in the trenches advising clients, navigating audits, managing planning decisions. •They know what’s fluff and what’s critical, and they don’t waste your time.
Support That Doesn’t Vanish After You Buy
We’ve served tens of thousands of professionals just like you with real human support from our Montana-based team. •Ask questions, get fast answers, and know someone’s in your corner. •We’re not a content farm. We’re a purpose-built team focused on the work you do. •Your success is our metric, not just your course completion.

What You'll Learn:

  • Critical updates on retirement accounts & taxation
