Registration

Due to limited space and advance purchase of course materials, ADVANCE REGISTRATION IS A MUST.  Please return the attached registration form and registration fee as soon as possible so that plans can be made for the luncheons and adequate space can be assured for all who desire to attend.  Late registrants may not be accepted at some locations.

A registration fee of $250 is charged for this course.  The fee covers the cost of two-day intensive instruction, publications, two luncheons, refreshments during breaks and meeting facilities.

Taxpayer Advocate Service Representatives from the IRS and from the S.C. DOR will be available on the second day of each workshop to hear specific case problems.  (For many of you, this feature alone can offset the cost of the workshop.)
