I read this book from front to back! It had almost everything you need to know to pass the test. I recommend studying the 1040 instructions and pub 17 also!I would recommend this book to anybody that wants to pass the RTRP test. It is better than Exam Matrix that I paid $200 for.
I don't write reviews, but I had to on this one. This book has only the pertinent information you need to pass the test. I am an accountant with two years of tax experience (~200 returns to date) and felt like this was an excellent resource. And the price was good too.I read this book from cover to cover and took brief notes and did all the problems. Then I skimmed back over the chapters and did the problems again, taking notes on what I missed. I also looked halfway through circular 230 but it was a waste. I did all this in three weeks and passed on my first try.Don't buy the expensive courses if you have a little tax experience. This was enough for me. Good luck!
This book is very informative and helpful. It helped me a lot for the preparation for my RTRP test. Those questions and answers in the book really build up a confidence in students and help passing the exam.
AS MENTIONED BEFORE,IF YOU READ THIS BOOK AND ANSWER ALL THE REVIEW QUESTIONS,YOU WILL PASS THE TEST.I THINK THIS BOOK WILL ALSO HELP IN ONE OF THE THREE EA TESTS.
The Wiley Review for the RTRP Exam consists of easily digestible, highly concentrated chunks of tax information divided into logical parts and chapters to best prepare you for the test. Explanations are kept brief and succinct for brevity and there's little coddling of the reader. This is to be expected. It's a review and you are expected to be able to differentiate the forest from the trees. Newcomers may feel overwhelmed by the voluminous book, but the chapters are short and rewarding, giving you the greatest amount of information, with the least investment of time. Not all chapters are created equal, however. The book's weakness manifests when it attempts to explain too much with too little words or oversimplifies the complex leading to sentences or paragraphs that must be read three or four times to decipher their meaning or intent.Overall, I felt the guide's authors really respect the reader's time and give the user an advantage on the test, both informatively and psychologically as the book explains exactly what you can expect as you take the test and may help to calm your nerves or reduce anxiety. You will find the lists and diagrams very informative and the test questions after each chapter build confidence and expose problem areas that need to be revisited.Good luck to all future RTRP exam-takers and I hope this review was helpful!
This book was purchased as a study aid for the registered tax return preparer exam. It was concise and well written. I passed the book onto a friend. We both passed the test easily. I would highly recommend it as being more than enough info to pass the test.
I passed the RTP exam on the first try! I could not have done it without the help of this book! The small investment was worth it! So, I would encourage anyone who is required to pass the exam to read this book front to back! It truly simplifies a lot of the tax jargon and regulations into layman terms. It really was helpful in answering the Circular 230 questions that were on the exam! Save yourself the $ and do not pay $200 for courses, just buy this book!!!
I purchased this book rather than take an online course which would have cost a lot more money, and I took my RTRP exam yesterday and passed!It's an excellent book. I read it thoroughly for 3 days before the exam and that made the test easier. The test is not easy, but it's not that hard either if you have tax knowledge and read this book!
