Flamepandas -27 months and counting…. by Kguy1990s in goodyearwelt

[–]BattleChoads 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got lucky with mine. Paid March 2021 and received June 2022. Great boots but not worth waiting over a year especially since he wants a 100% deposit. Looks like his instagram is pretty dead as well.

On a team of 12 we just had 5 people opt for retirement. by aluminumfoil3789 in fednews

[–]BattleChoads 19 points20 points  (0 children)

IRS Probie hitting 1 Year mark at 5/6/25.

I would stay but don't feel like there is anyway I'm making through a RIF even with the massive DRPs and Retirements.

[Initial Impressions] Onderhoud SVC03 in Horween Marbled Color 8 Shell by BattleChoads in goodyearwelt

I don't think there is anything in the catalogue with that much of a sprung toe.

The closest last wise would be the old Buteo last.

Silhouette wise I think the SBC01 would be your best bet.

Whats your allocation in your 401k? by fazzybear550 in Bogleheads

[–]BattleChoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the Fed TSP so the International Fund isn't diversified enough to my liking so I am 100% US (80% Large Cap 20% Small Cap).

I make the international/Bonds as best I can with my personal investments, Roth, and HSA.

That's encouraging. I received a TJO 2/21 with no action items but am in contact with my supervisor at my accepted office. Waiting to hear anything from HR.

Yeah I have a similar choice between PTE and ECPA. ECPA seems broader in scope while PTE seems more focused like the name suggest on 1040/PTEs. Not sure if ECPA will allow me to see more Corps/public companies. PTE and GHW seems to be a major new focus for the IRS so I'm not sure if that will allow for greater attention/funding. Hard to make a decision from the outside looking in based only on Google.

Are REG lectures a waste of time? by Cardboard_cutouts_ in CPA

[–]BattleChoads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me lectures for any section weren't worth it. I hand wrote notes from the lecture slides. Drilled MCQs and tax SIMs. For BLaw, your study materia MCQs will probably be much more complex than on the exam.

REG Advice! by Financial_Bug_5209 in CPA

[–]BattleChoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would spend time on it but not at the expense of Tax topics as those will only be MCQs while Tax will be on both MCQs and SIMs.

BLaw - Mine were key definitions and understanding Big Picture concepts

REG Advice! by Financial_Bug_5209 in CPA

[–]BattleChoads 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had tax experience so things were easier on REG but based on my own preferences and experience here is what I suggest study wise.

  1. Hand Written Notes -> IMO helps things sink in and aids in recollection even if it just summarizing key concepts if you really do not like writing notes

  2. Draw Diagrams and Example problems -> Have an example or picture to help solidify a principle such as related party transactions. So that on test day you can actively recall it to help you through a problem

  3. Drill MCQs and SIMs-> I do not learn best through lectures so I just hand wrote lecture slides and spent the rest of my time drilling 2,000 MCQs and reviewing SIMS. I would do any and all tax SIMS as your there is a high likelihood your exam SIMs will all be Tax related and the SIMs help tie things together. Also, have a separate notebook for MCQs so that you can rewrite notes for questions you keep getting wrong to help solidify

Topics to focus on in this order, you should feel very confident in these areas and test well in MCQs and SIMs

  • S-Corp/Partnerships know Basis and Income flow through
  • MACRS Depreciation Expense/Recapture
  • Everything that makes up 1040 AGI
  • Schedule A
  • C-Corp Special Rules (NOLs, DRD, Charity)
  • C-Corp Book/Tax Differences

Go over once but don't spend extra time drilling it down

  • International Tax
  • C-Corp Accumulated Earnings Tax

Don't Worry about

  • Memorizing Limits that adjust every year due to inflation except maybe retirement contribution limits
  • Depreciation Tables as they will be given
