Learn the Skill.
Build Your Confidence.
This is our structured six-week tax preparation training cohort.
It’s designed for beginners and individuals who want to develop their tax preparation skills through foundational education, live weekly classes, practical instruction, and accountability.
Students can begin with the prerecorded foundational lessons immediately after enrollment as those lessons become available.
If someone enrolls while a live cohort is already underway, they can begin working through the foundations and available recordings while joining the remaining live classes.
If someone enrolls between live classes, they can begin their foundational lessons while waiting for the next scheduled session.
The six-week Accelerator is a limited-time cohort experience offered during our October–December 2026 training period.
People who want to learn how to prepare taxes and develop their skills without committing to the full business-building experience of the Legacy Tax Academy.
IMPORTANT: The Accelerator focuses primarily on tax preparation education. It does not include the full business branding, office-building, and ongoing business development guidance provided through the Legacy Tax Academy.
