Excel Tax Planning Simulations
The purpose of the simulations is
to help you integrate the text material and the organizing concepts that we
discuss in the lectures, primarily those related to tax planning. After you have completed the
simulations and we have
reviewed them in class, you should have a better understanding about how to
perform effective tax planning.
I have prepared computerized Excel templates
that you must use to analyze the taxpayer's facts, given the tax law, and
provide your conclusion to the related issue(s). They will be
available from the course web-page or distributed as an email attachment.
| NOTE: If you access the
files from the web site you MUST download them to your computer before you
work on them. Save your work frequently and definitely save it before you
submit it to me. |
The simulations are due before the
beginning of class on
the scheduled due date. The submission of the completed Excel file must be via
email attachments with the email subject entered as "xxx Simulation
yy" (without the quotation marks), where
xxx is the
three digit course number and yy is the simulation number. Thus, the email subject line for the first homework for ACCT
346 would be: 346 Simulation 01. The submission of
your conclusion will be via the simulation's web-based input form (linked
below). You should bring printed copies of your conclusion to class for our
discussion and review.
Grading is based on:
-
Your presence in class when we review the simulation (no
presence, no points).
-
The completeness and accuracy of your submissions.
-
The timeliness of your submissions in the prescribed manner (as an email attachment
to the correct email address with the proper subject line and as a web-form).
