Once again, Professor Lisowsky has made very complex topics extremely clear and enjoyable. This course covered two generally complex but common topics in taxation - depreciation and capital gains/losses. To master these areas,one first needs to understand the principles. Professor Lisowsky is an expert at explaining complex tax laws. Second, one needs lots of practice. There are tons of questions provided in the course that serve to reinforce the concepts. Overall, the design , structure, and content of this course is par excellent.

Federal Taxation II was very comprehensive and I was able to add knowledge on property transactions to Taxation I on individual taxation. I feel non taxable Exchanges such as Personal Residence and Gifts and Donations could be a part individual taxation. As a Financial Consultant (FCMA,CGMA) I recommend this course to Accountants and others who is looking to gain an insight to US Federal Taxation,

As a newbie in US taxes, this course was a game-changer! It demystified the complexities of business property taxation and laid a solid foundation for my US tax journey. The video transcripts were a lifesaver for quick chapter revisits, and the real-life examples made everything crystal clear. My only wish is that it had included an end-of-course Excel practice session on property taxes to test my progress and maybe some bonus resources for further exploration. That would have made it truly unbeatable!
