LGUTEF Hardcopy Book (shipping & handling)

Description

Annually LGUTEF plans, writes and develops and publishes the “National Income Tax Workbook” which is used to teach Workshops, Institutes, Seminars, and Forums in more than 30 states for over 29,000 tax professionals. The writing/development process includes a planning meeting in February of each year where all Workbook users are invited to evaluate the prior year’s material and suggest topics for the next year. After consensus, we develop the topics – from 12-20 – that will be in the approximate 700 page Workbook for the year.

The planning meeting is attended by most state coordinators and a select few of their key instructors. We share ideas for publicity – what works and what doesn’t work. We share brochures and web site ideas. We discuss the financial issues that our programs face. Also we share administrative successes. Collaboratively we register our courses for accreditation by national organizations where possible.

The Land Grant University Tax Education Foundation Inc. (LGUTEF), is a non-profit corporation organized by representatives of land grant universities that teach tax education programs for professional tax practitioners. Land grant universities were established in 1862 by the U. S. Government to teach “agriculture and mechanics.” They were called “land grant” because the federal government gave 30,000 acres of federal land to each state for each senator and representative. Since 1862, land grant universities have expanded their scope to become major universities. In states without a land grant university program, educational providers like the New England Tax School can become associate members.
