2011 OSU Income Tax Schools to be held across Ohio this Fall

David Marrison, OSU Extension Educator

OSU Extension and The Ohio State University’s Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics Department are pleased to be offering the 48th Annual OSU Income Tax Schools at eight locations across Ohio in November and December. These two-day schools are designed for individuals who have some experience preparing and filing federal and state tax returns for individuals and small businesses. Instruction will focus on federal tax law changes and on the issues that tax preparers may encounter in 2011 preparing tax returns. The schools also will include an Ohio income tax update. Highly qualified instructors will explain and interpret tax regulations and recent changes in tax laws.

The registration fee includes the workbook and other reference materials, instructor fees, meals, meeting rooms, and other expenses. Participants in the Tax Schools will receive the 2012 RIA Federal Tax Handbook and the 700 page National Income Tax Workbook (including a searchable CD containing the 2004-2011 workbook) prepared by the Land Grant University Tax Education Foundation especially for the income tax schools held in Ohio and 30 other states. The National Income Tax Workbook is available only as a part of the tax school registration. Continuing education credit for Accountants, Enrolled Agents, Attorneys, and Certified Financial Planners will be offered.
