"I'm a sales tax auditor in a local jurisdiction, and I am very pleased to see these seminars being offered, and the number that register and attend. We try to help the taxpayers and the third party preparers understand the complex sales tax rules. These webinar educational opportunities through CPAcademy are awesome, because so many more taxpayers and preparers are able to attend, and this fills in a lot of the gaps we have in trying to provide education to taxpayers."Ann, IL
