Good Luck in the future with Accounting, very bold choice earning all the accounting credits that way. I was not that brave. I can see a huge difference between what I learned in a Study.com / SL course for accounting and what I am learning in my actual B&M accounting courses. Unfortunately I don't see how the ACE courses prepare someone to go into that field, I am so glad I took tesu-acct-students advice and took regular credits for accounting. Not sure how good the Penn Foster course is for Intermediate Accounting II so hopefully that was a good course for you.
I am not trying to be snarky I am just trying to warn people, What you learn in the Study.com/SL courses is not going to prepare you for actual accounting work. However, if you can handle the TECEP for Federal Income Tax you can definitely handle taxes. There really isn't more to taxes then to be able to look up what is included/excluded from taxes and fill out forms. I make it sound easy but that's truly all there is. If you utilize the IRS.govs PUBs it tells you everything you need to know. I wish you good luck in the future and I am sure you will do fine on the TECEP. Everyone says its way more intimidating until you actually take it.
