The content of the course was great. It gave a solid overview of gift taxing regimes provided in the IRC. However, the delivery sounded like the presenter was reading from a text book. As a result, it was not particularly engaging and difficult to follow.

I think it overall got the point across and it was a nice refresher, but I agree with another review that a lack of the slides in a PDF would have been useful to have the information available to reference.

This course does not provide reference slides. It is also outdated with most information based on 2017-2018 tax years. Lastly, the final exam is riddled with typos, which makes the questions confusing.

Would have liked some examples. That would make the course too long. Instead, it would be nice to have a set of follow-on "practical applications" courses detailing how the strategies can be applied.

It would have been helpful to have the slides as a handout. There was a lot of good information covered in this course and it would have been great to have the handouts for future reference.

Great basic review of gift and estate taxes. Most helpful for individuals with little to no knowledge about gift and estate taxes.
