Income Tax Track
Students will discuss the issues related to corporate income tax, including
formulary apportionment and the definition of a unitary business. Instructors
will review federal and state differences, compliance issues, and collection
procedures. The Income Tax Track is divided into two sections: Comprehensive Income Tax for those familiar with general tax and accounting concepts but are
relatively new to the field of state and local income taxation and Advanced Income Tax for those individuals with four or more years of experience in this area and a familiarity with the key
concepts.
Classes utilize the readings, lectures, case study method, hands-on exercises, and discussions, and feature nationally known scholars, tax administrators, and private practitioners as instructors. Our instructors are experts on a wide range of tax issues and are accessible both in the classroom and on an informal basis throughout the 4 days to discuss students' questions. Some out-of-class preparation may be expected. Both tracks follow the same outline.
