Courses began this week and I'm impressed with the workbooks and other training materials. I'm usually an A-B student, and I'm getting Cs on their asessments though. Some of the test wording isn't logical. But all you have to do is get a 70% to pass. And you can retake the assessments several times. Each time I retake an assessment, I do better.
Important tip from tonight's class -- You only have to keep your returns for 3 years. But if you need to correct your income records with Social Security, you will need all of your w-2s, 1099s and any other form that shows money coming into your household. I shredded all my returns that were more than 10 years old, and the w-2s went with them. Too bad, wish I had known this before. Maybe I'll learn where I can get a copy of old w-2s in the next class!
