Do tax classes at law school count as accounting or business-related coursework for California CPA licensing?

I am looking at the CA CPA licensing requirements and if I only count my undergrad coursework, I have only 20 of the 24 semester units of accounting required. The licensing applicant handbook says that courses in taxation fall under accounting. I took fed income tax, corporate income tax & derivatives taxation (total of 9 sem units) at law school. They were obviously taught differently from classes for accounting professionals, so I'm wondering if these would be counted as "accounting" or "business-related." Any ideas? And if they are "accounting," is there any way I can verify this so there aren't any unpleasant surprises later on?

I would say yes. Though, I am from NJ, I could be incorrect. Over here, you only need 150 credits of whatever..

A tax class is an accounting class know matter which way you look at it.

Good luck with that! Im going for my CFA and this entire studying process is brutal!!!!!

pl contact state board.
