ONE YEAR STUDY RESOURCES
Tax Court Rules (ustaxcourt.gov): Usually 25% of the exam covers Practice & Procedure and jurisdiction; it is helpful to become familiar with them now. This is required for the One Year Study Class assignments.
Gleim Federal Tax Questions and Explanations (gleim.com): Usually 40% of the exam covers Federal Taxation issues including corporate and partnership organizations and liquidations, gross income, estates and trusts. This resource allows you to bolster your tax knowledge in those areas that may be less familiar to you. This is required for the One Year Study Class assignments.
Federal Rules of Evidence: Usually 25% of the exam covers Evidence, which is typically the most difficult area for nonattorneys to learn. Purchase any current copy of the FRE you want, but it is helpful to have commentary available to help you understand this critical area. Law school bookstores usually have CDs, flash cards, or study guides that may also assist your studies. This is required for the One Year Study Class assignments.
Model Rules of Professional Conduct: Usually 10% of the exam covers Legal Ethics. If you are studying on your own, purchase any current copy of the Model Rules. The USTCPS text may be sufficient for these studies if you so it is NOT required for the One Year Study Class assignments.
Tax Court cases (ustaxcourt.gov): Start looking at Tax Court cases, particularly regular opinions (TC Opinions) and memorandum opinions (TC Memo). Small cases (TC Summary) may be of interest for your practice or your studies, but are not likely to be tested as the S decisions cannot be cited or appealed. The Tax Court uses its own cases for exam questions so it is helpful to become familiar not only with the language of the court but also with new and recurring topics. Daily cases are posted to ustaxcourt.gov and may also be available on various research services. This is required for the One Year Study Class assignments.
