A webinar is a training session conducted over the internet. You’ll connect to the class from the computer and can interact with the presenters by typing questions and messages. You’ll see live video of the presenters and the presentation slides. UK Income Tax Seminars are conducted using ZOOM WEBINAR online meeting software. After registering for a seminar, you’ll receive an email confirmation of your registration, as well as a webinar confirmation email with your login links and instructions.

To comply with IRS requirements, attendance will be tracked by asking polling questions at regular and frequent intervals throughout each session. The polling question will appear on your screen and you select a response. Failure to answer polling questions will result in loss of CE credit for portions of the course.
Certificates of attendance will be emailed or mailed within 20 days of the conclusion of the seminars. Credit will be based on actual time in attendance, based on login/logout information and participation in polling questions.
