Hey all,

I’m studying for REG using becker and am noticing a whole bunch of AGI phase out amounts and am wondering if any are worth memorizing. The lectures say they’re not very important but then some of the MC/sim questions require knowing them. Any tips/tricks to learn them if I have to? Thanks!

Yes, you have to remember those AGI phaseout amounts. Individual is a huge chunk of REG exam. Practice MCQ and Sim. Once you start seeing again and again, you will have an easy time remembering it.

Contrary to what cpa1982 said, you do not need to know these figures. I took the exam this past Saturday; albeit difficult, it didn't ask anything about the amounts. Just know which deductions phase-out, because not all do.

Using Becker, in the lecture, instructor mentions that don't get caught up in the amounts, just know a rough point of each threshold. But even that seems difficult to me, because even the “rough” thresholds quite largely varies!
