Glad you enjoyed the post.
Thanks for the ...Pete-<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the post.<br /><br />Thanks for the insight on the CPA exam. It is as I thought.<br /><br />You are right that I am "someone who has had much success, thank you very much, without certification". But I do support regulation because "it couldn't hurt".<br /><br />TWTPRobert D Flachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034127763662917220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318055043707993918.post-70893980337817153402009-11-03T08:13:57.172-05:002009-11-03T08:13:57.172-05:00As a CPA, I can attest that the four part CPA exam...As a CPA, I can attest that the four part CPA exam had precious few tax questions. Two years prior to sitting for the CPA Exam, I sat for, and passed, the EA exam. Two days of vigorous questioning on all aspects of tax law. I doubt any CPA could pass it with the knowledge they have on hand. And you and I know full well no attorney could. <br /><br />Still, I look at registration with a skeptical eye. I believe the free market should reign: taxpayers should seek out competent tax preparers and compensate them accordingly. You're a prime example of someone who has had much success, thank you very much, without certification. Why the IRS thinks they can improve on that, I don't know.<br /><br />Great article, by the way.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04210441627504923976noreply@blogger.com
