I keep seeing this pop up over and over again in various formats, studying tax for REG. Either Congress hasn’t extended something for 2014, or the limit/phaseout used to be a lot higher in 2013 and earlier but Congress hasn’t extended the higher limit, or something to that effect.

What am I supposed to take away from that? Is this stuff fair game for the test? On one hand, why bother mentioning it if it isn’t going to be tested…but on the other hand, I feel like I have enough to remember without remembering two separate sets of information depending on the dates. Sometimes it’s as little as a limit reduction, but other times there’s like a quarter page long explanation for something that just doesn’t exist past 2013.

Honestly when I saw that I automatically discounted the info. As with not needing to know year-by-year phaseouts, etc, I decided that if it was unclear from reading the book that the AICPA wasn't cruel enough to stick me on it. For the record, it wasn't an issue at all on my exam. Others may have had different experiences though
