RADNOR, Pa., May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Surgent Income Tax School, a division of Surgent Accounting and Financial Education, today announced the release of its 2025 Comprehensive Tax Course, the nation’s leading beginner tax preparer training program.
Designed for individuals looking to start a career in tax preparation and for firms seeking to train new staff, the updated Comprehensive Tax Course combines real-world application, expert instruction and flexible delivery in one online platform.
The 2025 edition includes refreshed content aligned with the latest IRS tax law updates, along with bonus resources that support new preparers in launching their career or growing their tax business. The course provides in-depth instruction on preparing individual tax returns for most U.S. taxpayers and now features updated content aligned with 2024 tax law changes, including adjustments to filing thresholds, deductions, credits and federal forms.
“Our Comprehensive Tax Course remains the industry standard for aspiring tax preparers,” said Elizabeth Kolar, executive vice president at Surgent. “We’ve updated the course for 2025 to ensure learners are gaining relevant, applicable skills that help them start earning income quickly, whether they want to work seasonally or build a long-term business.”
Available entirely online, the course allows learners to progress at their own pace with instructor support, graded exams and hands-on exercises. Students earn a certificate of completion and a digital badge, validating their credentials to clients and employers. The course also provides a strong foundation for further advancement, including pursuit of the IRS Enrolled Agent credential.
“This course isn’t just about teaching tax law; it’s about helping people build sustainable careers,” said Nick Spoltore, vice president of tax and advisory content at Surgent. “We break down complex topics into manageable, real-life scenarios so learners feel confident applying what they’ve learned.”
Training Staff with the 2025 Comprehensive Tax Course
For tax business owners, the 2025 Comprehensive Tax Course also serves as a scalable training solution for new hires. Employers can purchase the course for multiple staff members and receive access to instructor tools for lesson plans, tracking student progress, providing feedback and maintaining compliance. This cost-effective solution helps firms expand their workforce while maintaining quality and consistency.

Surgent recently consolidated its Income Tax School offerings at Surgent.com, giving students a single destination to begin and advance their careers. Aspiring tax professionals can now train to become a preparer, pursue the Enrolled Agent credential and meet annual continuing education requirements — all from one platform.
