WORKBOOK & EXPORT PLAN
The workbook was first published in 2010 to compliment the training. Since then, it has expanded into a stand-alone reference book. The workbook is now available as an e-book or downloadable pdf. It has been updated approximately every 2 years with important industry changes and clarifications. We are on our 9th version.
The unique aspect of the eBook is that each page has key resources that are linked directly to the sources. You can click the link right from the book to take you to important resources such as the Schedule B Search Engine. How easy is that!
The workbook can be purchased alone or with the On Demand training.
