CERTIFICATE IN INCOME TAX PLANNING AND REPORTING

This certificate stands on the foundation of NYU’s legacy educational focus on taxation. The program covers the full spectrum of work performed by income tax professionals including planning, compliance and audit defense. Required courses provide the substantive fundamentals of income tax law by focusing on individuals as well as the two most common forms of business entity taxpayers. Electives apply the foundational principles of tax law within specialized areas of emphasis.

Upon completion of the program, students will have achieved an intermediate level of expertise encompassing both theoretical and practical aspects of federal income taxation, including:

  • Understanding the legislative, regulatory and judicial sources of tax law, their relative merits and applications.
  • Confidence in identifying and resolving substantive income tax problems with special emphasis on “gray area” issues.
  • Sound technique in income tax accounting and reporting.

This certificate is awarded to students who successfully complete six courses--three required and three electives.
