McHENRY – McHenry County College is partnering with the Independent Accountants Association of Illinois to offer a test preparation course for income tax preparers from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Dec. 20 at the McHenry County College Shah Center, 4100 W. Shamrock Lane, McHenry.

This class is intended as a refresher for experienced tax preparers and for individuals who have minimal experience with tax preparation. This seminar could also benefit those who are preparing for a career in tax and accounting fields or who are becoming tax preparers for the 2013 filing season. An individual needs only to pass the exam once in a lifetime as long as he or she meets the continuing education requirements each year.

This Registered Tax Return Preparer class is an eight-hour class with six hours of tax law and two hours of ethics included in the one-day session.
