Why Illinois Tax Training Institute?

Who can/should benefit from taking this course?

  • Anyone who has the desire to become an Enrolled Agent, certified through the IRS
  • Any current tax preparers wanting to enhance their earning power

  • Anyone who would like to learn how to properly prepare income tax returns for individuals and/or businesses
  • Anyone changing careers

Do I need to have a degree to take the course?

No. There are presently no educational requirements stipulated by the IRS as prerequisites to becoming an Enrolled Agent. Candidates for the Enrolled Agent designation must possess knowledge of the tax law in the United States, and need only to pass the SEE, three-part examination and a background screening conducted by the IRS.

How is ITTI different from other tax training schools?

  • ITTI focuses on test preparation for the Enrolled Agents Examination, while many other companies only offer basic tax education courses
  • ITTI students may pay for each module separately and the study materials are included with each tuition payment
  • ITTI students do not pay separately to prepare for the SEE. Some other schools charge a fee for the individual tax return classes, and then charge an additional fee to provide written materials for students to study in preparation for the SEE
  • ITTI does not just ship written materials to its students
  • ITTI provides personal face-to-face instruction; therefore, immediate feedback. You are not relegated to trying to "plow" through volumes of tax code independently
  • ITTI expands at the infra-marginal. We are training New People to the profession, to become licensed tax preparers
  • ITTI "holds your hand" through the SEE process, and the program is designed to prepare the student on a corresponding SEE-to- course, part-to-module basis
  • ITTI provides a personal step-by-step process on how to setup a successful professional tax business, while others only sell books on how to develop a tax practice
  • ITTI assists students with setting up their own partnership, LLC, or Corporation, for example
  • ITTI nurtures the development of the professional and supports their entrepreneurship
  • ITTI assists students with acquiring their initial clientele and leading/guiding them through their first clients
  • ITTI graduates are trained to assist their clients far beyond customary tax return preparation
  • ITTI utilizes state of the art software to allow students to learn on multiple software programs for greater career development
  • Others may have continuing education courses; however, they seem to be rehashed redundancies of their federal tax course
  • Other continuing education course seem to be geared specifically for only one State
