About this course
Tax season doesn’t have to be a headache. In this 60-minute webinar led by Dr. David Knutsen, Assistant Teaching Professor of Accounting at Roosevelt University, you’ll learn the fundamentals of preparing a 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. This course walks you through each line of the 1040: from reporting income items and adjustments to deciding between itemized deductions and the standard deduction.
You’ll calculate your tax liability step-by-step, then determine whether you owe a balance or get a refund. Dr. Knutsen uses real-world examples to clarify each component, so by the end, you’ll be able to complete a basic 1040 with confidence.
This is perfect for first-time filers, small business owners, or anyone who wants to understand their tax return before handing it to a professional. No prior tax knowledge needed—just a willingness to follow along and crunch the numbers.
