    Hey OneGiant! I think BL is important, however, this is something I studied first so that tax would be the last thing and fresher on my mind. I would definitely understand as much as possible. What areas do you struggle with?

    @Bucky. I wondered that too. I thought it was called AAA for S-corp.

    @wannabe. Good question. My first gut reaction is that they would be carried fwd just as a C-corp would but I'm not positive.

    @Tax Lady – I have AAA in my notes as well! Seems like a similar concept.

    Yes but thats what they are refering too, i guess they might not mention AAA in all questions.

    How do you guys tackle research questions? I'm able to find most of them but every now and then there's one which doesn't seem like it would be hard and I try searching by any and every variation of words in the question in advanced search but just can't find it…and then the solution's suggested keywords are synonyms of the key words they use in the question, but how am I supposed to have known to search by those words?

    Confidence is a prerequisite for success

    @linkman. In my opinion, the research question is the easiest one. Maybe your review software is giving you harder questions than what will actually be on the exam? I didn't have any problems. That's the only one I felt 100% about the first time!

    @Wannabe – according to my notes, Unused losses (due to inadequate basis) are carried forward indefinitely (until the adjusted basis of the stock increases or the S election is revoked).

    I think the 9,000 should be a capital loss and it should be B. I remember this question from Ninja and/or our review last night. 😀
