The effort to cover the TCJA completely was arrived at the cost of too little coverage in some important areas of the law. The limits placed on the discussion of the AMT and the BEAT are examples of areas where a deeper dive may have been appropriate. Additionally, the examples are in some instances out of date. These should be updated or replaced. The examples tended to be confusing due to the effort to "short cut" the calculations in the name of efficiency?? Thank you. Every course has its powerful points.

The review and exam questions weren't great- there were definitely a few mistakes and/or tricky questions (such as one with multiple correct answers). The slides need to be updated to reflect new dates, or simply take this information out as it is no longer accurate. There is good information in here, but it should be reviewed/updated for accuracy.

Fulfills objectives as outlined by instructor. However, some of the information is dated, for example, the due dates of corporate returns have been changed since instructor recorded course.

A lot of useful information. Part of the course has some repetition from the course "Computing Corporate Taxable Income".
