Cornell Income Tax Conferences

Our Blog: Cornell Tax Schools – News from the Director

For 2021, we are offering three in-person Tax Schools and one virtual Tax School to meet your tax training needs in these somewhat challenging times. The authors and editors have been working since January to once again put together the best tax training material available. We are holding off publishing in order to include the most up to date New Legislation chapter possible. When you click the link below, you will be able to register for the session which best fits your needs.

Fees

Early Bird Pricing of $460 for the in-person conference and $375 for the on-line program is available until October 1, but each location has capacity limitations. Fees will increase by $85 on October 1, (In-Person $545, on-line $460).

The in-person fee includes two hot lunches and both morning and afternoon breaks. In-person attendees also receive the printed National Income Tax workbook shipped directly to them at no extra charge.

Attendees of the on-line program can purchase the printed workbook shipped directly to them for just $25.

All attendees also have the ability to download a digital copy of the National Income Tax Workbook.

COVID Considerations

We hope that this fall will not bring back COVID restrictions. The hotels are taking every precaution to keep our meeting space both safe and comfortable. To reduce congestion at our in-person meetings the tax workbook will be mailed to the work address you provide during registration. Attendees will turn in individual attendance records 4 times during the program rather than signing in at a registration table.

In the event an uptick in COVID causes a reduction in the hotel’s meeting capacity, we will switch registrations to our on-line program on a last-in, first-out basis and adjust your fee accordingly.

Looking forward to seeing you this year. It’s going to be a great program as Norm Provvidenza, Dario Arezzo and I present the National Income Tax Workbook materials during these two-day conferences.

As our tax programs open for registration, we announce them to our e-mail list. If you have not been receiving e-mails there could be two reasons:

We conduct research and offer educational programs targeted toward tax preparers, consultants, and attorneys who work with and prepare tax returns for individuals, small businesses, and farmers.

The Cornell tax schools have run continuously for over 60 years. Our current schools are taught by small business and farm tax experts.
