The University of Nebraska–Lincoln offers 67th Annual Federal and State Income Tax Institute in November and December. Continuing its legacy of statewide access to the latest training in tax law, the institute will be delivered through two online delivery options during a six-city tour. To register, visit: https://taxinstitute.unl.edu and early registration rates end Friday, Oct. 22.

The Tax Institute provides tax professionals, advisors and attorneys with professional development to stay up-to-date with the latest rulings, regulations and developments in the tax field. To better serve participants in 2021, the Tax Institute offers two online format options: a two-day livestream session or an online self-study program.

"Offering in-person and online access to high-quality professional development speaks to our university’s mission as the state’s flagship, land grant institution. Professionals can earn their continuing education credits in a format that best meets their needs from presenters with years of experience making complex tax issues easier to understand,” said Dr. Emre Unlu, executive director of the Center for Executive and Professional Development, who coordinates the Tax Institute.

Hosted in partnership with the Internal Revenue Service and the Nebraska Department of Revenue, these seminars feature important updates on tax legislation from nationally renowned presenters, including Guido van der Hoeven, chief editor of the Land Grant Agriculture Book, and J’Nan L. Ensz, CPA and QuickBooks Pro Advisor.
