I know that everything is a important to know. But below are the areas I am primarily focusing on with extra detail:

-Estates, trusts, & Gift Taxes

-Depreciation

-Property and Special Prop Tax

-Tax Exempt Organization

-Filing Requirement and preparers Penalties

-Corp Tax

-S-Corp

-Partnership Taxation

-Individual Taxation.

I am also touching basis on everything else, but the above are my heavily focused on areas. Is there other items other than the above listed items that I should be adding to the list?..even though EVERYTHING is a more appropriate response :/

Thank you guys..Hopefully this will help a few other peeps along with me

Basis, basis, basis

Don't forget that b law is approx. 20% and ethics/responsibilities is almost another 20%.

I agree with Kimboroni! Know basis inside and out, forwards and backwards. Know all the adjustments for AGI (Have you seen the mnemonic thread on this? It was helpful to me.) Delve down deep on the adjustments and deductions and make sure you know all the intricacies of what can be adjusted/deduction and what the limits are. I would also concentrate on the tax forms. 1040, 1065, Sch. A, C, D, etc. M-1, K-1, S-1 and so on. On the business law side be sure you're comfortable with forming of contracts and just have strong knowledge of the many business law definitions.

As JEjunkie and Kimboroni have said, basis and business law. Do NOT overlook them. Contract formation, commercial paper, all that… skip at great risk to your score.

FAR - 79 (11/27/13)
AUD - 76 (2/1/14)
REG - 77 (5/30/14)
BEC - 88 (7/18/14)

MN Ethics - 100% (3/9/14)

AND DONE! 8/1/14
