    dont skip simple things like return due dates – including different year ends.
    Realized vs. Recognized gain – these are OFTEN different numbers so it's easy to be tricked. Be sure of which the question is asking for.
    Limitations on losses allowed (for example Passive Activity losses are limited)
    Don't forget Estates & Trusts – small portion of returns but important. Estates valuation dates – Date of Death vs. the Alternate Valuation Date
    Gift & Inherited property basis
    What happens if property gifted or sold to a related party is later sold to an unrelated 3rd party.
    Itemized expense limits – 10% floor for Medical unless over 65 then 7.5% floor, Business expenses unreimbursed vs reimbursed, accountable vs. nonaccountable plans.
    How to handle certain expenses that are treated one way if personal and differently if business or income producing (ie: Rental property deductions vs. itemized deductions.)
