Tax Taxes Education Courses Strategies

[Jonathan Barby]

Hello BiggerPockets community,

I believe knowing taxes may be a worthwhile investment! I am considering doing my own taxes next year.

Those that have done your own taxes and/or are professionals, what resources have you found useful? I know there are many books and courses out there both good and bad.

As I understand it and enrolled agent is skilled in personal taxes while CPA's have a depth of understanding in business taxes. I read that Gleim is a decent course for studying to become an enrolled agent. If you have taken this, I would like to know if it's just a cram course to pass a test or does it provide a wealth of information? Would you go elsewhere for tax strategies? 

People's experiences both good and bad are welcome. Thank you.
