    Figured I would swing by and say hello. I have not read all of the messages, but you all have been busy already. I just finished studying for my first FAR retake and I just finished the exam on 1/7/17. Now, I have 4 weeks to study for REG, cram and hope that I can pull out a win (taking it for the first time on 2/4/17), then on to retake for BEC 3/6. Any pointers on REG?

    Best of luck to everyone!

    New to the group. Took REG for first time in Nov. 2016 and underestimated the Sims and didn't get to finish the exam even though I did great in MCQ. Just took REG again today and I managed my time better and finished the whole exam. Hopefully I passed. Will take BEC within 3 weeks. Continuing the journey.

    Hi guys! Is there anybody who used NINJA PLUS videos for REG? I used them for BEC and it kind of helped me, so I am looking for an opinion on REG section. Is it worth buying? Thanks!!! 🙂

    Parent Corp. owns 15% of Sub Corp. Parent has gross income of $43,000 and allowable deductions of $39,000 before considering any dividends received deduction (DRD). Included in the $43,000 gross income is $8,000 in dividends from Sub.
    What is the maximum DRD available to Parent?

    Becker answer is 2800$. – 70% * 4000.

    ( lesser of 70% * 8000 or (43000-39000) * 70% – limitation)

    I thought if it creates NOL then allow the maximum which is 70% * 8000 = 5600$

      Can you guys help me on this. Thanks

    @esenthil what you said is correct. I would have chose the same answer as you. The DRD rules state the lesser of taxable income DRD or DRD. However IF when taking the DRD it creates a NOL then TI DRD is thrown out the window and you take the full DRD.

    Not sure why Becker has that answer. I must be missing something.

    @esenthil I run in cycles. At times I feel like I have the concepts down great then a week later I'll feel like I have them all mixed up! It's scary.

    I'm trying to brush up on estate tax but there's not a ton in the Becker book on it. Can someone briefly explain the jist of the table in Becker on page R4-63

    For those who are using Becker, is there any way to access the sims directly or do you have to go into each practice section?

    Questions:
    1) Is it true that Q1 tests 2016 material still? Specifically concerning on some of the tax stuff.
    2) I've done a bunch of NINJA MCQs and am looking to get another online based one. What are the more popular ones? I just want to do MCQs, not books, etc.

    Good luck to everyone!

    @isoceles 1) yes that is true. I believe the new 2017 tax code gets introduced in the 3Q. 2) Purely MCQ's I Ninja is your best bang for your buck. I believe Becker offers something but I'm not familiar of a lot that offer solely the mcq's.

    Lazy request. Does anyone have a breakdown of the Distributions and contributions of a Corp, S Corp, and Partnership? For instance a partners contributions in a partnership take on the basis of what it was to the partner and you subtract the portion of liabilities that the partnership assumes.
