Trust & Financial Planning courses are only available online.

My friend suggested me to pick up a tax guide and learn the taxes on my own?

Universities and other schools near me offer tax courses. How do they compare with yours?

Mostly, college and university courses emphasize on theoretical aspects of taxation, resulting in many practical questions unanswered in the students’ minds. Since our objective is to make our students professional tax consultants, we discuss more of the application of tax laws than theory. We teach you how to prepare tax returns completely and accurately, with tax planning and other needed tax services.

Does your course cover tax return preparation only?

No. Mere mechanical knowledge of how to fill in a tax form… what figure to put on which line, will not make you a true Tax Professional. To earn the rewards and prestige tax work offers, you must know how to search for tax savings possibilities, how to make effective use of advance tax planning strategies and how to find tax saving elections and alternatives. You will see that the SOFTRON training program superbly achieves these results.
