I have been professionally preparing tax returns for 21 years. I am neither a CPA nor an Enrolled Agent, and at my age would not even consider going for either designation. The timing was off for me to become a RTRP, so I elected to complete the AFSP each year. After completion of the 2025 Tax IQ Academy AFSP course I would give them a very high score for the following reasons: The course content is accurate to the IRC Customer Service is very good, and they genuinely seem to care about their students. Prices are very reasonable Overall when compared to competitors, Tax IQ Academy is superior to all others

I don’t usually leave reviews but this right here… worth it!! As a tax professional, I don’t play about my education and these courses did exactly what it needed to do. It was clear, straight to the point, and actually useful not just fluff to get hours. Definitely helped me stay compliant and sharpen my skills going into tax season. If you serious about your tax business, you need this. Period.
