TOP REVIEWS FROM TAXATION OF BUSINESS ENTITIES I: CORPORATIONS
Excellent Course Structure. But need more Comprehensive Form 1120 Tax Return Series Problems for more practice & retention for a US Tax Career.
Some of the questions are overly tricky where the focus for me is on understanding the question rather than the substance. The instructor speaks a little too quickly.
I find these courses super useful in my daily professional life and in achieving new goals.
Thanks to these courses, I started working Online in US base companies.
Many thanks to Coursera Team!
Michael was a pretty active and animated instructor
