Federal Tax Accounting -online @ Fairleigh Dickinson University

Once again I am offering my federal tax accounting course online at FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON UNIVERSITY starting August 27, 2018. I will be using my book, “Federal Tax Accounting“(CCH 2017).

 

The course is divided into four modules. In the first module we will study “the entities tax year.” In the second module we will study “changes of accounting methods.”  In the third module we will study “tax accounting methods.”  In the fourth module we will study “inventory and uniform capitalization.”

 

The course is designed to not only explore the principles of Federal Tax Accounting as well as learn to analyze and solve tax accounting problems. The course is activities-based, functional incrementally and cumulatively. The outcomes will be determined based on case studies, analysis of solving tax problems, and preparation of IRS forms such as 3115’s and 1128‘s, etc.

 

Each module will have a capstone project where, in some cases, there will be a group activity, and in some an individual activity.

 

Each week you will have specific assignments, access to online video lectures (over 50), a weekly WebEx meeting, and access to numerous cases, rulings, revenue procedures, etc.

The topics include:

•      The Entity’s Tax Year;
  •         Methods of Accounting;
  •         The Cash Receipts and Disbursements Method;
  •         The Accrual Method;
  •         Change in Accounting Method;
  •         Inventories;
  •         Uniform Capitalization Rules;
  •         Instalment Sales; and
  •         Long-Term Contracts.

I invite you to sign up for the course through the FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON UNIVERSITY MST website. You may contact Ron West at: West@fdu.edu or contact me at” brunetti@fdu.edu.
