The purpose of this series of courses is to bring the tax preparer ``up-to-speed'' in the most efficient way possible for the tax preparation season. It offers quick answers and hands-on help for tax return preparation that has become increasingly complex by several recently passed tax Acts. This second course in the series covers gross income from all sources, as well as exclusions and inclusions to gross income. Topics examined include how to report wages and benefits, including all forms of compensation, as well as which benefits are taxable and which are excludable from income; total interest from banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, savings bonds, and tax refunds; and miscellaneous exclusions and inclusions not covered elsewhere, as well as how to recognize excludable and includable types of income.
