    @rachel this is asking for the Partnerhsiip's basis…not a partner. So the 10k would be allocated out to Lind and Post accordingly, but for the Partnership the basis is the AB of the building.

    @cpasucks23

    Unified credit = $2,081,800

    Life exclusion = $5,340,000

    Gift someone $5,340,000 in your lifetime without ANY gift tax, if there was a tax on 5,340,000 the tax would be 2,081,000 where the credit would simply wipe it out.

    so @mika your saying that $5,340,000 of gifts i make is not taxed in my life but if i go over than i start to get taxed.

    and than if there was a tax on the 5,340,000 it would be 2,081,000 , but since there is not tax on the 5,340,000 it doesnt matter?

    On April 1, Roe borrowed $100,000 from Jet to pay Roe's business expenses. On June 15, Roe gave Jet a signed security agreement and financing statement covering Roe's inventory. Jet immediately filed the financing statement. On July 1, Roe filed for bankruptcy. Under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, can Roe's trustee in bankruptcy set aside Jet's security interest in Roe's inventory?

    A. Yes, because a security agreement may only cover goods actually purchased with the borrowed funds

    B. Yes, because Roe giving the security interest to Jet created a voidable preference

    C. No, because the security interest was perfected before Roe filed for bankruptcy

    D. No, because the loan proceeds were used for Roe's business

    Correct Ans is B…but i thought should be C….

    Voidable preference is a transfer made by Roe to Jet before Roe declared bankruptcy. This gives Jet an advantage over other creditors. The Federal Bankruptcy Code allows for the trustee to set aside the security interest, which secures payment of the obligation.

    This question is from NINJA: A CPA's working papers must be disclosed under an IRS administrative subpoena.. I thought it was for federal court subpoena, state agency or quality peer review.. In Becker, it says not for IRS..

    ???

    @ rachel525, when you see the word “subpoena”, working paper most likely to be disclose without client consent. (just my rule of thumb)

    aright, I sit Saturday morning and I'm getting to the point where 1) I'm pretty tired of looking at this shiz and 2) I am having trouble focusing on it 3) deciding what to review these last couple of days.

    I am def going to review AMT again…. and the high level points of ADJ/Itemized/Credits… can't decide what to look at after that. Maybe E+P and property related items…

    Gabe what are you working on? anyone else who is sitting soon?
