Hello,

I am currently studying for REG. I had plans to take the test in November but due to unforeseen circumstances I had to reschedule for January. Therefore, I did the online update for the 2014 material. However, going back to review some of R1, I noticed the 2014 material did not cover capital gains/losses, like kind exchange, ect.

I feel like this was way too big, and important, of a section for them to just dismiss. Anyone notice this? I tried contacted Becker but I just got a round about answer along the lines of, “The material covers what we believe needs to be covered”.

Do you think it would be beneficial to study the 2013 material for this section?

Thoughts and comments are appreciated.

Thanks,

Wes

I'm in the same boat studying for FAR now to sit next year……I'm going to study it anyway. I mean, I'm already studying the entire book for the exam, might as well throw in that one extra item. It won't add a whole lot of extra time to my study schedule, but better safe than sorry. I'm sure I could use the extra point that would come along with a one off question on exam day.

I remember looking over the topics for the 2014 sections and I believe Capital Gains and other property kind of transactions were moved to another section. I think it was R2 but I'm not sure.

I just checked all of the sections and see nothing on Capital Gains/Losses. Oh well. I'll just study for it anyways from the 2103 material. I just can't believe this isn't something they deem important.

Good luck all

If you are referring to Becker's 2014, those topics have been moved to a section titled “Property Taxation” in R4

AUD: 91 (2/26/13)
BEC: 79 (5/7/13)
FAR: 88 (8/31/13)
REG: 84 (11/26/13)
