About the Course

NOTE: Course Update Coming Soon! We’re currently updating this course to reflect major changes to U.S. tax law made by the 2025 legislation commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. An updated version of the course will launch in early 2026, with revised lessons, examples, and explanations that align with the new law. In the meantime, please note that some content may reflect pre-2025 rules. This course is the first course in a five-course US Federal Tax Specialization. It covers and focuses on the U.S. federal tax system as it relates to individuals, employees, and sole proprietors. Key concepts covered include gross income and items that are statutorily included or excluded in it, personal and business expenses that qualify as tax deductions, and the differing tax treatments for employees versus self-employed taxpayers. Unlike many other introductory courses in tax and as part of this course’s comprehensive wrap-up, learners will be provided with practical and tangible experience reporting both income and expenses on the main individual tax return used in the US, Form 1040. If you have enjoyed this course, consider enrolling in our online graduate Accounting program.

Great content and really learned a lot. Would have liked some more examples or formulas to use and print out to keep handy, especially in doing some of the AGI floors. but otherwise, great!
