Course Title: ACC 261 Principles of Federal Taxation I (3 credits)

Semester:  INSTRUCTORS WILL TYPE INFO HERE

Faculty: INSTRUCTORS WILL TYPE INFO HERE

This course is designed to give students a general knowledge of tax policies and practices. Tax law changes quickly and updates may not be reflected in the current textbook. The publisher strives to include the most relevant information but with the nature of the changes to tax law it is difficult to update textbooks with the ever-changing tax laws. It is important that you use the textbook material to answer any questions on assignments. The assignments are based on the content in the textbook.
