    About this ebook

    The 1040 Exam Prep set of study guides is designed to effectively help tax return preparers in their review of material for the Registered Tax Return Preparer (RTPR) competency examination.
    Beginning in the Fall-2011, many of the tax return preparers who are not attorneys and/or certified public accountants or registered agents must take a competency examination if they want to continue preparing federal tax returns for a fee. It takes time to prepare for any certification exam and usually the preparation process is expensive. Having the right material, the right plan and the right attitude is crucial to pass the exam. It will spare candidates from going from failure to failure and spending a lot of money.

    For candidates planning to take the RTRP Competency Examination, 1040 Exam Prep can help them to prepare for the exam by providing the material they need to review in several formats that meet their unique preferences and convenience.

    The 1040 Exam Prep is a comprehensive, effective and practical set of study materials that include e-Books, slide presentations, mind-maps, and mp3 recordings, designed to help the RTRP review quickly, grasp and retain the concepts they need to know in preparation for the RTRP competency exam. The 1040 Exam Prep material:

    • Empowers candidates' review with bite-size manuals and visual aids.
    • Builds a strong knowledge foundation, confidence, and stamina to succeed in the exam room.
    • Allows candidates to review no more than what they need to know for the exam. The tax law is huge; candidates don’t want to over-prepare.
    Practical, simple and affordable, the 1040 Exam Prep Study Guide for Tax Preparers will require little extra effort on the candidates' part to search for and analyze complex tax laws and regulations, because we have done that for them and we have summarized what they need to know, to help them pass the exam.
