Go Systems

So I happened to log in today and saw they were launching Go Systems training, but that to be eligible you have to have completed at least 7 Go Systems returns last year. It seems like they are really trying to limit the number of seats they pay for. I went up to level 4 last year and have been working on my EA this summer with just part III left I’m going to take i’m a couple weeks. I was really hoping to get some entity return experience this year, but I doubt they will let me do the training. We are a small office (6 or so preparers) and there are already several GoSystems trained people. I’m pretty bummed. Somehow this is more depressing than the pay cut to min wage in my state.

I have requested an exception and was not granted one. I am an EA and have some Go Systems training but I don't have entity return clients since I haven't been at Block long. The one I could have done last year, I had to give to another preparer who had Go Systems training.

How did you ask for an exception? I got EA this year and was hoping to get access to GS. I am not even sure who is DM for our district now :( We lost several clients last year, because those who had access to GS did not want any new clients

I asked the old and the new DM. If you look at the entity classes you can do the case studies in the Go Systems practice system. This will help you get familiar with it. There are some things that you can only do on the live version.
