Demonstrate end-to-end CB1 tax analyst capability by preparing a complete corporate tax compliance package for a sample mid-size C-corporation — from ERP data extraction through workpaper preparation, provision and depreciation support, analytical review, and pre-submission validation. The capstone consolidates every skill in the program into one portfolio-ready artifact you can discuss in interviews and reference as you start your first tax role.
The capstone is built around a single running scenario: you are the CB1 analyst assigned to prepare the federal return and supporting operations workpapers for "Cascade Consumer Products, Inc.," a mid-size C-corporation with a new state filing obligation and a complex current-period fixed asset addition. Across four modules, you'll work through the full compliance workflow, receive ungraded AI feedback on two milestone drafts, and submit the final package for grading.
