Description

This course will focus on tax preparation related to credits, including the child tax credit, the credit for other dependents, the earned income tax credit, child and dependent care expenses credit, and education credits.

We will look at each new concept from multiple angles, starting with a presentation discussing the topic and then looking at examples to better understand the concepts in action.

The example section will use tax forms to work problems and an accounting equation method using Excel so learners will understand the impact on the actual tax return and visualize the concepts using a tax formula.

Tax credits can have a significant impact on the amount a taxpayer pays. We will discuss the differences between a tax credit and a deduction.

Learners will understand how the child tax credit works, including the idea of an advanced child tax credit and what nonrefundable and refundable credits are.

The course will cover and show examples of the earned income tax credit, one of the most complicated tax credits to understand.

We will look at what types of expenses may qualify for the child and dependent care expenses credit.

Learners will understand education credits and how to calculate them.
