Optional add-ons. All passing students will receive their
completion certificate by email at no extra charge. Students who
choose to receive an extra certificate by mail would pay $5.15 in
addition to the course fee described above.
Full refunds.
Students who do not pass one or more of the
course components -- federal tax law overview, federal tax law update,
ethics, or California -- get
their money back. Nonpassing
students may choose to retake the exam and study only those course
components they did not pass.
Retakers would need to pay
the applicable fee on the resubmission date.

attempt plus three retakes).
