Approved by the IRS and CTEC

Cal Tax School specializes in self-study courses for income tax preparers. Our curriculum is authored by tax experts with over 30 years of experience.  Cal Tax School's courses have been approved by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS Approved Provider #K7RW7) as well as the California Tax Education Council (CTEC Approved Provider #3055).
 

Flexibility and Convenience

After you enroll online, we will give you access to the course materials.  On the download page, you can choose your method of study (e-books, printed material, or audio).  You may freely examine the entire program at no risk.  When you choose to proceed with the program, you will have the flexibility to complete the coursework around your busy schedule -- without the time and location constraints that come with traditional classes.  Study whenever, however, and wherever you want.
 

Study First, Pay Later

There is no upfront payment or commitment required.  Take the open-book exam at your own pace and only provide the course fee at the time you submit your final exam answers (by web, fax, or email).  Get your test results, certificate, and professional credits shortly thereafter.

Our Mission

Our online service is used and trusted by thousands of income tax preparers each year. We aim to preserve that trust by providing each student with a stress-free, inexpensive, and positive learning experience while meeting or exceeding CTEC and IRS standards for professional tax education.
