EXTRA SPECIAL BONUS You just might find yourself getting client referrals from TaxMama®. Eva gets requests from taxpayers for tax preparation, consultation, or representation assistance. Eva is not accepting new clients, except in rare instances. So…she is referring them to tax professionals she knows and trusts. If you demonstrate exceptional expertise and creativity (within the tax code) in any area, and you have a positive, pleasant attitude, good ethics, and you have skills in the right State a client needs – you just might find yourself getting a call or an e-mail from TaxMama®, referring a paying client. (Now, who else offers this kind of service?)

Note: The 2011 material for the Self-Study course is created as we teach and record the live course.

Note: If you register late (after a class has started) or need materials shipped sooner than 20 days, you will need to pay FedEx or UPS 2nd day rates of $45.00. Don’t even ask about overnight rates! Those are closer to $80 due to the weight of the books. Also, if you register AFTER the class has started we may be out of books and disks, and you may have to wait up to two weeks for our special orders to arrive.
