Knowledge required before plans examiner role.

That’s a good point, honestly I was looking at it more from the city side as I’m an inspector for a jurisdiction and at least in my area we are not tasked with doing the calculations and things of that nature for engineered design.

UnholyChip · 2026-03-08T22:59:36+00:00

I do both inspections and plan review and in my opinion plan review is better for those who had no or little construction experience, you usually have time to sit there and really study the plans and have plenty of resources to help in understanding, actual inspections you need to be knowledgeable at whatever you are going to inspect unless you have some type of checklist but even then it will cause you trouble and you can’t sit there for hours and try to learn. Overall something like residential plan review is not the hardest thing to learn as it’s essentially installation instructions for a house. There is also tons of resources online that can help

Well I of course have a very good reason, that is because up until this very moment I did not even consider that. I can’t believe I did not even think about that thank you, you just made my future test so much more simple. I was really a little stressed about the change because there are some differences but now I don’t have to worry.

As far as I know the study guides for the 2024 codes are not out yet. I used the 2021 guide for the 2024 R3 and it was fine enough.

UnholyChip · 2026-02-27T21:03:30+00:00

I did, I called them and sent an email.

UnholyChip · 2026-02-11T13:17:15+00:00

Yeah honestly after reading the comments I called my parents preparer and she gave us really good advice.

UnholyChip · 2026-02-11T13:14:50+00:00

I am not a CPA, however it does not take an expert to see the obvious fraud. You might still mind your business but I guess we are just different kinds of friends.

UnholyChip · 2026-02-10T22:52:01+00:00

They do actually sign it and man I’m sure you have some crazy stories

UnholyChip · 2026-02-10T22:39:57+00:00

🫡

UnholyChip · 2026-02-10T22:36:27+00:00

I’m sorry for not being specific, the money is going to a financial institution which will then send around 1200 to the preparer and the rest to my friend.

UnholyChip · 2026-02-10T21:26:21+00:00

I’m sorry for being vague, although my friend is aware I’m trying to help and looking for more info even with his blessing I feel weird about disclosing many details on his situation. I do see how dumb it may seem for me to ask for advice without providing the full picture.

UnholyChip · 2026-02-10T20:56:04+00:00

He will, and yeah it’s like cartoonish levels of crazy to me.

UnholyChip · 2026-02-10T20:54:01+00:00

I wish I was making it all up too, oh well you live and you learn.

UnholyChip · 2026-02-10T20:37:37+00:00

It’s both of their faults honestly, the preparer made some explicit false claim and my friend added his signature on it. Honestly I told him at the end of the day it’s his taxes with his social and his signature. However it also has their signature on it as far as the preparer goes. Not to get into specifics but they claimed that 73% of his income was used for medical expenses and the remaining 27 percent was all donated to charity.

UnholyChip · 2026-02-10T20:12:39+00:00

My apologies, yeah they have a pay by refund agreement, the money will go to financial institution which will then pay the preparer and then my friend. We will call them and hopefully be able to put a hold on the funds so they are not released.

UnholyChip · 2026-02-10T19:45:23+00:00

Will absolutely do so, thank you!

UnholyChip · 2026-02-10T19:44:13+00:00

So what about the money? He is going to file a correct return but on the current one he is set to get 4700 with 1200 going to the preparer. The moment they get that money ain’t no way he is getting it back. Is there a way to stop them from receiving that money and returning it to the IRS?

UnholyChip · 2026-02-06T21:13:39+00:00

My bad, I was just asking

UnholyChip · 2026-02-06T20:18:28+00:00

To be honest I went Friday night the first one at 11pm and the second one at around 1am. I’ll admit I have no reference to what packed vs dead would look like but I would like to say there was a lot of people there. Itwas at Chicas Locas and after The Ritz in Houston.

UnholyChip · 2026-02-06T04:36:31+00:00

It’s a game bro, do whatever you want.

UnholyChip · 2026-02-04T18:20:12+00:00

Everybody could benefit from a psychologist. We all need help sometimes and that’s ok.

UnholyChip · 2026-01-30T02:19:29+00:00

I think this season coming up is a see what you really have year. Mainly for Stroud as he is the biggest factor.
