Real feedback from tax professionals who used TaxSuite CE to prepare with more confidence and less stress.

★★★★★

“Taking the AFTR course really helped me level up. Since getting listed in the IRS directory, I’ve noticed more people trust me and feel confident working with me. I’m glad I went ahead and got it done because now I have my credits, stronger credentials, and something official to show for the work I already do.”

Michael F. • Tax Professional • AFTR Student

★★★★★

“I actually found this course just from Googling because I knew I needed to get my CE done, but I was nervous about taking the AFTR on my own. The study group with Coach Q really helped me understand what to focus on and gave me the foundation I needed. This is only my second year preparing taxes, and I feel way more confident going into the season now. If you’re a solo tax preparer, I definitely recommend jumping on this.”

Jasmine T. • Tax Professional • AFTR Student

★★★★★

“I’ve been in the financial industry for over 20 years, but I’ve been in and out of tax preparation over the years. This course was a great refresher on the tax laws and was really easy to navigate, especially for a seasoned person like me. Lol! Anytime I needed help, communicating with the TaxSuite CE admin team was easy, and I loved seeing my credits updated daily. I’ll definitely be taking this course again for the 2026 tax year.”
