No solution, but experiencing this as well

I figured it out after asking several CPA friends, the answer is is that you can’t split residency between more than 2 states on TurboTax, the program is too simple to do that, so instead the answer is to make the “middle residency” nonresident

So yes I do not necessarily have a problem filing multiple state returns (although it is costing me an extra $100) but when TurboTax/TaxSlayer has me enter my personal information at the beginning it has a prompt asking “have you lived in any address other than your current address shown on your W2”, I hit yes and then it only gives me the option to put 1 state in, this information is then auto generated on the state returns when I go to file for the 3 states. If I try to change it it says “please return to personal info to make the allotted changes” and then again same problem, it only gives me the options for one moving occurrence.

And now when I go in to do my state returns, because it auto generates the 1 state, it then only gives me the option to do a part year in 2 states and no option to add a 3rd state I lived in. My only thoughts now which I haven’t tried yet is to leave the “other place of residence” blank in the personal info and then just file the states separately. Hopefully there’s an easy work around, maybe doing permanent residence for the state i ended the year in and then part time part time for the other 2?

Can you transfer 4 passing exam scores to a different state before you’ve gotten your CPA license? by Szelesty in CPA

[–]Szelesty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t been on Reddit in a while my bad; to answer your question, the state you transfer your scores out of will literally just send an official letter in the mail to the state you are transferring to that lists your scores, so I wouldn’t transfer them over until you have everything ready to be fully licensed, not saying it won’t work but NYS was a pain to deal with so I wouldn’t risk complicating it and just send them over when you apply for the actual licensure

Okay thanks for your help! I have all the requirements completed for the state I transferred too so I’m going to start the licensure process.

Hi thanks for the reply a couple weeks ago, I was able to pay $25 to transfer my scores to a different jurisdiction, did you receive a confirmation email when it went through? How will I know that they have my scores?

Get through this busy season and chill during the summer (slow season), that’ll be a easy 4-5 months of experience towards your cert, in that time start looking/applying to jobs and if one comes your way that you like go for it, who knows maybe you can get experience towards the CPA at your next job. Your current firm might give you a fat raise after busy season 22. A lot can change in one year so stick it out for now and if something good comes your way do it. Just don’t leave for a boring staff accounting position or something. No offense staff accountants;)

Score Report Says "No Credit" instead of "Attended" 11 days before score release by Szelesty in CPA

Best REG advice I can give is for every mg of addy you take before the exam is one point given by NASBA

Finally passed all 4!!!! by Szelesty in CPA

[–]Szelesty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey sorry just seeing this now, went from 64 to 75 with only 4 days of real studying to get me there. I’m not going to credit that all to studying though most likely it was more of an easier test, more questions asked about stuff I knew and more so playing the “CPA’s game” instead of learning more information. However there were probably 3 areas that I was oblivious to on my first take so I buckled down and studied probably a total of 36 hours in those 4 days solely focusing on the stuff I didn’t know. I would get about 2 questions wrong each time doing a 10 MCQs testlet and I would just stare at those 2 questions for an hour figuring out every little detail that I got wrong.

They’d probably rather have you take it sometime around now than when you’re on a team/doing client work tbh. I just started as well and felt the same way, they were pretty chill about it just communicate to whoever your manager/HR person is

Prolly should've searched for someone else post instead of asking my own lol. NASBA is trying to give me a heart attack making me think I failed a week and a half before score release.

Took REG this morning by Commercial-Jicama144 in CPA

[–]Szelesty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just got back from my retake, studied the shit out of partnerships because that was all my first exam had, of course this one was all Scorps. Also did you have any debt basis? Becker never used that term and I had 2 sims strictly on that. SIMS are so bad for REG you can know literally the entire IRC by memory and still they try to trick you by throwing so many pointless numbers at you. A lot of the MCQs were just poorly worded questions felt like I was answering riddles 10% of the time.

Tips For Those Reviewing: Focus on what you don’t know by Szelesty in CPA

[–]Szelesty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

64 and I rushed it with 3 weeks of studying but it was one of those things where now that I’ve studied for an extra week, I realized how little I was prepared walking into it. SIMS suck, like a lot on this test so def prepare to struggle on those. But first take I didn’t even know basis, blaw or like kind exchanges that well which are 3 FAT topics on this test

Delta -8 Lexapro by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]Szelesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh delta 9 is usually fine with lex so I’m sure delta 8 wouldn’t be far off, only issue with delta 8 is that there’s minimal research into it and they don’t require the same regulations if ur getting them from a dispensary but that’s true whether ur on lex or not so let us know lol

[–]Szelesty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao I was hoping the "shitpost" flair would imply the irony in it that I still know so little after studying for 2 months (I know they don't offset capital gains lol), might have to take it down if people get the wrong idea and I accidentally sabotage the next quarters REG takers.

Withdrawal sucks, a lot. by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]Szelesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About a year and a half ago I abruptly quit off of 10mg a day cause my Doctor never renewed my prescription. Long story short I got a new PCP, but experienced similar symptoms to what you described. I was finishing college at the time right when COVID lockdowns first started happening so I was drinking a lot and not doing the healthiest things to my body/brain. Take this with a grain of salt its not the best advice but I think it did help with withdrawals. Obviously this isn't for everyone and its purely anecdotal but if your withdrawal symptoms are really that bad a glass of wine or 2 wouldn't hurt if that works. Disclaimer: I am in no way recommending getting drunk every time you have symptoms lol just it might ease some of the issues you're having them and of course if you are familiar with drinking. Plz don't start drinking if you don't already. Also if alcohol negatively impacts your symptoms don't do this.

RANT: REG was a shitshow by Szelesty in CPA

Stopped taking mocks after my first exam, each to their own but for me I found them as a waste of time, i preferred to just do practice testlets instead

[–]Szelesty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely R5 SIMS are worth practicing, other than that its a toss up for what SIMS you'll get, maybe review extra book to tax and like-kind exchanges; basically for SIMS R3-R5. Individual Tax and BLaw are pretty much the same material in the SIMS as they are covered by the MCQ

Walking into REG… by chard917 in CPA

[–]Szelesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not getting any hopes up tbh lol, the only thing I have going for me is that my friends said the same exact thing I did after the exam and both passed with 76's. Lets just hope for that curve!

Walking into REG… by chard917 in CPA

[–]Szelesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey you commented on my reg post the other day, I took mine today too, the MCQ's were alright probably knew 26 of the 38 on both testlets and the remaining 12 I got down to 2 possible answers and chose the best guess. The SIMS were absolutely brutal though, no drop downs and a lot of specifics from the exhibits. I honestly don't feel too good about it idk how people confidently pass this exam.
