    Hey all!

    I have a question that may or may not have been answered already. I am using Becker 2012 study material as well as 2012 Ninja notes. The ninja notes mention that the 2013 exam will test 2012 information. So far, howver, I have noticed a couple of discrepancies between my Becker book and the Ninja notes. Will the 2012 information in Becker be sufficient? I mean like 100 percent trust worthy?

    Just to clarify on one discrepancy I found – Homeowners Exclusion in Becker says 500, 000 is available to married couples, yet Ninja notes says 1,000,000? Not sure why??

    @gim, if I am not mistaken $250,000 each or $500,000 joint is if you see your home. The $1,000,000 is for mortgage interest expense….

    Does that answer your question?

    Hopeful this time around.... Back after a 2 year break!!

    @Turtle: thanks. Can you verify that the AMT exemption formula is still x25% at the end? aka:

    Single: 51900 – (AMTI – 115400) x 25%

    MFJ: 80800 – (AMTI – 153900) x 25%

    Have my test in 4.5 hours! I just did 50 MCQ on Wiley Test Bank. Need to wake up my brain cus I am not RTMFQ yet. Usually takes me a bit to warm up when I start studying.

    AHHHH! So nervous. I really don't feel good about it yet at ALL. I wish I didn't tell people my test dates either. After this one, I am not going to tell anyone except my parents and study partner. Too much pressure and questioning.

    Back to husband, Wiley.

    I think I could make money off selling my review notes 😛

    Do any of the ones available (Ninja, etc) have all the dates and extensions consolidated together? Or perhaps carryback and forwards? I think this would be very helpful.
