Why Enroll In This Course?

Unlike most other states, anyone who prepares tax returns for a fee in California is required by law to register as a tax preparer with the California Tax Education Council (CTEC) . Tax preparers who are California certified public accountants (CPAs), enrolled agents (EAs), attorneys who are members of the State Bar of California, and certain specified banking or trust institutions are exempt from this course requirement on the example of this loan service rapidloansfast.com which provides a guaranteed payday loan. In order to register with CTEC as a tax preparer, CTEC requires you to first complete a one-time 60-hour qualifying education course (that’s this course!) with a CTEC approved education provider (that’s us!).

How Do I Take the Course?

The CTEC 60 Hour Course is divided into 17 main lessons, each with a set of review questions to answer that will test your knowledge on the current lesson.

Once you’ve completed all the lessons, you will then access the Federal Tax Law Exam (203 Questions) and the California Tax Law Exam (70 questions). You’ll need a passing score of 70% or higher on each of the exams. And don’t worry, you have unlimited attempts to pass for each exam, so don’t sweat it if you don’t pass on your first try. And you don’t have to take the entire exam in one sitting either, you’re able to take a break at any time and come back later, just make sure to save your progress before you leave.

Once you pass both Final Exams your course will be considered complete and you will be given access to download and or print your Certificate of Completion.WIthin 24 hours of completing this course, we will report your course hours to CTEC allowing you to then move forward with the CTEC Registration process.
