Excellent Course Structure. But need more Comprehensive Form 1120 Tax Return Series Problems for more practice & retention for a US Tax Career.
In this Specialization, you’ll build job-relevant U.S. and international taxation skills for accounting, finance, and cross-border business work. You’ll begin by examining the U.S. federal income taxation of business entities, including corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies (LLCs), and Subchapter S corporations. You’ll analyze how tax rules affect entity formation, operations, distributions, reorganizations, and liquidation, while evaluating the tax implications of different business structures and elections. You’ll then explore state and local taxation across the U.S., including nexus, limits on state taxing power, and the allocation and apportionment of income for multistate activity. Finally, you’ll analyze cross-border transactions and core international tax concepts that drive planning and compliance, including sourcing rules, transfer pricing, CFC/Subpart F, foreign tax credits, and policy-driven regimes that shape outbound and inbound activity. Through applied, scenario-based practice, you’ll work through realistic tax problems involving entity formation, partnership taxation, shareholder distributions, multistate operations, and international transactions. By the end of the Specialization, you’ll be able to evaluate business tax consequences across domestic and cross-border contexts and apply tax rules to practical planning and compliance scenarios.

Michael P Donohoe is a great professor and He explained all the tax provisions very nicely and covered almost the majority of concepts.

Hello
My name is Abdel Fatah Bengeloune and I just completed the course which I greatly appreciated. However, would like to share my concern of not having a case study applied to the form 1120 for corporation. We should be able to know how to fill out the form 1120 properly with a typical scenario case. This should have been included in the course. Thank you.
The instructor is good. The course material is exhaustive and all efforts are taken to cover all relevant material.
The course has not been updated for the Tax Reform changes. For a reference, I took the course almost 12 months after the Tax Reform legislation went in effect.

I really appreciated
the application of the learnings to Sunchaser Shakery examples for a better understanding of of the Tax act provisons.
Prof. Donohoe is an excellent teacher and I find his examples useful in learning the concepts.
s a highly valuable course for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of corporate taxation. Whether you're a tax professional or a business owner looking to navigate the complexities of corporate tax, this course equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to excel. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in this field.
Very good in-depth review of a wide range of topics relating to the tax effects on shareholder and corporation in funding and monetisation of C Corporations. At times a little confusing and hard to keep up but this is mainly due to the depth and complexity of material. The worked examples were particularly helpful.
The test of any course is the level of knowledge attained from the course. In comparison to the Income Tax Acts of lesser countries, The Federal Income Tax codes and regulations are comprehensive and perceived as intimidating by non-US tax practitioners. This course has relieved me of such fears.
I would like to suggest to include the responses of the application exercises. It does not need to be a slide, it would be ok just a print of the resolution made on the iPad. This way it is not required to watch the video again to find a solution of an exercise.
This course is very good. And I have finished it well. The subject can enrich my knowledge regarding taxation of business entities I.
Any certificate for the course of taxation of business entities I? I hope any certificate for this course.
Thanks,
Moses
Great overview of C corps. About as engaging as can be expected for a prerecorded class. Highly recommended.
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 really enjoyed the applications of the principles to Sunchaser as it made the concepts much clearer. My only suggestion would be to provide links to more court cases so you could say the principles being debated like in a law school class.
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!
I really enjoyed the course and the material. Very useful and easy to understand.
Strongly recommended for a first approach to the US taxation.
Amazing class. Very thorough and incredibly brilliant and likeable instructor. Highly recommend it.
This course was more difficult than i anticipated, but very high quality
Very professional! Clear and understandable information and instructor!
Good material, not in-depth but sufficient for such learning platform.
