I’m using 2012 Becker materials and noticed there was an update to the 2013 materials regarding the IRS Tax Return Preparer Program. Can someone paste what they see in R4-45 10.D in their 2013 REG textbook. The 2012 text is different from their update, so I want to make sure I study the right info.

Thanks.

I believe that the IRS ended its Registered Return Preparer Program. Paid tax return preparers are still required to get a PTIN but do not have to pass a competency test.

REG - 11/5/2012 - 80
BEC - 1/17/2013 - 76
AUD - 2/22/2013 - 70 4/5/2013 - 75
FAR - 5/28/2013 - 75 - Done!!!

Question: What do you call someone who only gets 75's and 76's on the four parts of the CPA exam?

Answer: A CPA
