I didn't attend it because history has shown that Intuit webinars are a waste of time.

Now I wish I'd ask yesterday if anybody was GOING to attend.  I might not have wasted 90 minutes of my time.

Yep I did.  Was stressing that I may be missing an important part of the stimulus package for my business clients.   From all I learned today,  I may be missing an important part of the stimulus package.

Many people subscribe to Checkpoint Learning for our continuing education.  They have a couple of EXCELLENT webinars (the top two on the link below), and the presenter is always up-to-date with things (and things are changing daily with these new laws).  You would need to pay for it ($309-359 per year for the "Premier" package), but in my opinion, it is worth it with all of the new stuff going on.

totally disappointed.    The lady has only clients that are super wealthy it appeared. All stuff was basically 'immaterial' to her clientele.

I agree 100%  and her giggling was annoying the **** out of me.    The only items she seemed knowledgeable on and cared about was the loans because she is making money off of them.

Im was disappointed.  I guess if youve been living in a bubble and hadnt done any research on your own about any of this, it may be new information, otherwise it was a waste of 90 mins.

I wasted my time today also.  Everything that was covered was stuff I already knew about.  I thought I might learn something new.

For those who do a bit of homework on their own, these webinars from Intuit are probably not worth the time.  For those who rely on what they hear on the news, read from consumer magazines, and this forum, they may get a thing or two from attending - but then what they get from these webinars will still not be enough to answer client questions, let alone render advice and prepare returns.
