sonu, I know Wiley is cheap, but I don't like it at all. I am using 2008 Becker to study, but have also updated the book and flashcards for the 2010 materials.

For REG the big thing to remember is the casualty loss change in 2009. The deduct off the top is now $500 instead of $100. Outside of regular indexed amounts nothing changed from their 2009 to 2010 materials.

If you are talking about AUD download the updates off the Becker site. There were a couple of major revisions to the 2009 materials when I was in the classes in Oct/Nov last year and some of those materials were in questions.

me too, i am siting REG late April, i have just got my FAR score and i passed.

i am under high presure now, my BEC will expire on 5/25 and REG is my last part. i know it is may falt and I had to take it at least last window with FAR, it is late to think about it but that is where am I now.

i am using Becker 2009 materials and it expires on 3/14 i am working with Becker trying to get an extension upto the end of april to sit for REG.

here is my plan and I would like to get every ones input on this plan please:

using becker materials for studying, getting Wiely book and using it to understand any areas that i feel not comfortable with, and studying for 3 hours every day except friday and 6-8 hours on weekends until the eaxm date.

i also my Join Club 75 and get Jeff's notes for REG someone sayed it is really good.

any thoughts ?

BEC 77(expired), 84
AUD 85
FAR 80
REG 67, 81

I am taking REG on April 24th. I am using Becker 2009. Also I have Wiley 13.0 and Lambers. I'm trying to do as many MCQs as possible. I typically spend one week per chapter. Watch the lecture and highlight the book on Saturday. Do bulk of MCQs on Sunday and then do the rest/redo ones not passed throughout the week and take the progress test on Friday.

It worked for AUD (passed) but has not worked for BEC (3 times struck out) so I'm getting Yaeger for BEC.

Right now I'm rereading the tax areas in between the Law section as my progress test on ch 5 was a 100. I'm not comfortable with the AMT or the corporate areas. Any pointers.

yes, me, but just study yourself, studying with others for this exam does not work, just read, read read, the questions explain themselves. no study budy, sorry.

BEC 82 - 1/16, AUD 2/23, FAR 78, REG - April

I just received my Yaeger homestudy for BEC and am considering ordering the REG Cram but I'm kind of tired of spending $$$ on the test and review material. I have Becker 2009 for REG and Lambers so I can do lots of questions. Is the Cram worth getting at this point? I'm testing on Apr 24th.

I have a question from becker which is

During 2001, Adler had the following cash receipts:

Wages $18,000

Interest Income from investments in municipal bonds 400

Unemployment compensation 1,500

What is the total amount that must be included in gross income on Adler's 2001 income tax return?

As per updates the amount of exemption now is $2400 !! so how we should answer for this question….!!

question # 2 is if in exam do we have to consider which year the rule was applied and answer accordingly !!

sorry if i sound little confuse !! I just started 1st chap !!

pls answer…

sonu: The question says his 2001 taxes, so you'd use pre 2009 which allows up to 2400 so the only amount excluded would be the municipal interest. So the answer should be 19500.
