Accounting, Payroll and Taxes?

I am getting ready to in a couple of weeks take an accounting class online which takes 6 weeks for Accounting Fundamentals 1 and then another for Fundamentals 2. I am also going to be learning payroll as well with these course but on top of that I'd like to learn taxes.

Where is some good site for me to check out tax courses besides the H&R Block thing, I'd prefer it be online. Also, would knowing accounting (or learning it online) get me a job, even if I'm not an certified CPA?

Answer:
Accounting classes may help . if you have no prior exposure whatsoever.

Skip the payroll classes.99% of business payroll is automated now and you're not going to learn anything of value.

Try "irs.gov" . take a tutorial and explore the site.tax prep for the most part is pretty easy. Good luck.
im also taking an accounting class in a couple weeks

this will help me
usually if your not a cpa they want you to take their courses which maybe available online try (Jackson Hewitt) they don't guarantee you a job but i say you have a 90% chance of being hired with them
Most states require at least 2 years of public accounting experience before you can become a CPA. Therefore not being a CPA is not a problem for entry level jobs. No one at that level is a CPA.
Yes you can get a job even if you are not a CPA.
I happen to have my bachelor's degree in Accounting but am not a CPA and it has been very helpful.
I took the H&R Block course and highly recommend it wether you work for them or not. I am not familiar with any other courses and do not know of any online.
