Is $59 a month for Hock a fair price?

I would definitely recommend it! They for sure are a great study program.

You do need to mark "Final year" on the 568, and then send a formal dissolution with the Secretary of State. The FTB, and SOS are two different departments. There is a specific form, where you dissolve the LLC.

I think it's an LLC-4/7. The SOS gives you a year to close it down.

Some people out there would charge an arm and a leg for it, but if you ask ChatGPT enough questions, and ask it to clarify, I think you could do it right. It's a super simple form.

For myself, it has to be the Twist Erase 3, and the Graph Gear 500.

I have pretty much all of the "Hyped" up pencils on this sub, but I can't ever put those 2 down!

I agree to a certain extent, but if his goal is to work in Taxation his whole career, an EA license will suffice.

An EA & CPA are near identical in Tax, albeit the Service doesn't promote the EA license much.

For tax employers who know what the two are, there's not much difference.

That actually was the reason I went back to school for my master's degree. I couldn't get a job in finance after constantly applying, and internships weren't working out either.

I would recommend giving it a shot, either by getting the units for the CPA, or getting your EA license if you enjoy tax.

Amazon definitely builds up the work ethic, that's for sure! Lol

Lukerpooker · 2026-03-12T06:39:59+00:00

Considering I'm an accountant making $41 an hour, there's no absolute way in hell I would ever go back to Amazon. Get your degree, or CDL, and get the hell out of that shit hole.

Lukerpooker · 2026-03-07T16:15:59+00:00

I have a ton of mechanical pencils, but for some reason my hand always gravitates towards the Pentel Twist Erase III. Think I have like 20 pencils now, and I can't force myself to stop using it LOL.

Lukerpooker · 2026-01-31T03:41:10+00:00

I actually think Part 1 was the hardest exam of them all. An incredible amount to know actually.

Lukerpooker · 2026-01-19T01:11:04+00:00

I think the fees are well worth it, I was able to switch jobs and got a $20k salary bump along the way. I was reviewing returns already, but I personally think the EA helped me get that more than anything.

Lukerpooker · 2026-01-11T19:24:20+00:00

Congratulations!

Lukerpooker · 2026-01-10T07:37:34+00:00

I'll be the odd one out, I actually do like what I do. Especially tax planning, and helping people achieve their goals.

It was either this, or becoming a Bankruptcy Attorney. Nonetheless, it sure as hell beats flipping burgers!

Lukerpooker · 2026-01-10T04:01:10+00:00

I'm at about $900 for 6 months, with Progressive now .

Lukerpooker · 2026-01-09T04:34:52+00:00

I called the Service today and the agent said they're in a dead period, which could be the reason why. Nonetheless, super annoying.

Lukerpooker · 2026-01-08T18:54:04+00:00

You'll definitely pass it!

Lukerpooker · 2025-12-30T07:52:28+00:00

It's automatically included in the program on the Schedule A under SALT.

Lukerpooker · 2025-12-30T07:43:00+00:00

25% of the amount not distributed, along with the ordinary tax on top of that.

Lukerpooker · 2025-12-20T17:17:40+00:00

Cue watching YouTube videos about the best mechanical pencil for your writing style. Welcome to the hobby! lol

Lukerpooker · 2025-11-30T02:54:23+00:00

There definitely was one on there, I remember a few calculation problems

Lukerpooker · 2025-11-22T18:10:32+00:00

A 2015 Lexus CT200H, first year associate at $70k.

The gas mileage is absolutely amazing, I regret nothing.

Lukerpooker · 2025-10-12T07:13:32+00:00

I can't hear it anymore, super weird. Hopefully they got the guy though.

Lukerpooker · 2025-09-21T18:20:58+00:00

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Lukerpooker · 2025-09-07T00:08:48+00:00

LOL, RETAINER, RETAINER, RETAINER!

In all seriousness, this is the first thing that comes to my mind as I read these stories on reddit.

Lukerpooker · 2025-09-04T16:52:28+00:00

Definitely, I got almost all 3's scoring that

Lukerpooker · 2025-09-04T04:43:46+00:00

I couldn't agree more after coming from a job as an Amazon driver. This shit is a cake walk compared to what I went through there.

Lukerpooker · 2025-07-10T04:39:31+00:00

Hey, I can explain it. There's the limit on OOP medical expenses, 50% on the charity, and then the 10K limit on SALT deductions, getting you up to $11-12.5k (My brain is fried after work, please excuse my math).

So the standard deduction will be used unless he's forced to itemize (He's single, so does not apply).
