This course provides CPAs with a basic understanding of IC-DISC and its benefits for clients.

Learn how to increase the benefit with various calculation techniques approved in IRS regulations.

Calculate an IC-DISC commission in a basic case
Identify qualifying export sales from client records
Know where to ask for expert help and where to do it yourself

"Enjoyed the presentation. The complexities of IC-Disc were explained in a very understandable format. My first year as a preparer in public accounting, one of these came across my desk. Since it was so unusual and unique it was challenging for me to complete. However, I never forgot this return. Thank you for clarifying a lot of the confusion."Thomas M., SC
"I was impressed with the number and character of the questions at the end of the session. I have taken a few other webinars (from other entities). This was the first with the CPA Academy. Generally, the questions (such as they were in number) in the other webinars were up to the same in quality as they were in this session."Bonnie, HI
"I attended this webinar because I have never had a client with goods exported to foreign countries. Knowing nothing was a good place to start. The instructor clearly developed the topic and covered it as well as possible in the short time available. His humor and clarity made it time well spent. Thank you."John, CA
"This is one of the best & most informative webinars I have ever attended! The speaker effectively took the time to reiterate many important points to help avoid problems with a IC-DISC. A lot of valuable information for those of us with limited knowledge on requirements for a IC-DISC"STUART, PA
"I am a retired IRS worker. I am now an EA, but have not practiced yet. That is why I gave NA answers to 2 questions. The presenter was extremely clear knowledgeable about aq very complex issue. I am a rookie in this area. Therefore, I gained a great deal from this presentation."Bret, FL
"I would highly recommend this webinar to anyone that exports goods or has clients who do so. The webinar was very easy to understand and quite informative. I am in a better position to assist my clients than before the webinar."Ma Jesusa, Other
"I thought the presenter was very knowledgeable and the presentation was very clear and concise. It was very easy to understand and digest for someone who is not familiar with the IC-DISC provisions"Thomas, IN
