It seems most CPAs are more comfortable with income tax issues than sales/use tax issues, so this course aims to provide a foundation (and then some) for CPAs interested in becoming more acquainted with the vitally important issues surrounding sales/use tax. The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Wayfair during 2018 only makes this tax more relevant to companies, so now is your chance to get the fundamentals that can start you down a path to better serving your clients or company with their sales/use tax needs.
