Certificate
The Graduate Certificate in Tax Compliance and Planning will provide an opportunity for students to gain in-depth knowledge of federal income tax of corporations, specialized topics within taxation, and personal finance and advisory services. Students will explore advanced topics within the IRS audit process and representation, impacts of contemporary tax legislation, tax codes and compliance standards, and financial planning. Specifically, students will gain skills and experience in tax preparation, tax software, analytical skills, financial management, and strategic planning. The content covered in this certificate aligns to the specialized discipline of Tax Compliance and Planning within the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination® (CPA ®). Students interested in the CPA exam and licensure can pursue this certificate to help them prepare for the exam, or obtain remaining credits needed towards the 150 credits needed for eligibility in most jurisdictions. Completion of this Certificate alone will not satisfy complete educational eligibility to sit for the CPA licensure exam or to become a licensed CPA in most jurisdictions. Licensing requirements to sit for the CPA exam vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. SNHU’s Graduate Certificate in Tax Compliance and Planning is regularly reviewed against evolving requirements for each U.S. jurisdiction. A list of eligible jurisdictions can be found on the Licensure and Certification Disclosure page on snhu.edu. Students are encouraged to review their jurisdiction-specific requirements. Jurisdiction educational requirements can be found on the website of the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA), while jurisdiction CPA licensing requirements can be found through the Accounting Licensing Library, powered by the NASBA.
