Chapter 5 – Federal Taxation of S Corporations, Partnerships, and Limited Liability Companies

If you are studying full time, our hope is that you are studying 6 to 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Remember, if you are planning to study six weeks (full-time) for regulation, you should be working through the nine chapters in about four weeks and have about two weeks for final review. If you are studying part-time, you should be studying about 20 hours per week. Remember, these are just averages. The most important thing is not meeting these deadlines. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS LEARNING THE MATERIAL, RETAINING THE MATERIAL, AND APPLYING THE MATERIAL TO THE MULTIPLE CHOICE/SIMULATIONS AS YOU GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS!

Related to retaining the material, we hope around the end of your studies for Chapter 4 of BOOST, you took a practice test on the previous material to provide you feedback regarding how well you understand this material and are retaining it (remember, if you are not retaining it, you need to consider changing your study plan).

Now to Chapter 5! Chapter 5 of BOOST primarily covers S corporations and partnerships. Please don't rush through this material and take your time to understand it, especially if you have never studied this material before. Remember, an additional week of studying (if needed) will be well worth it if the additional time is the difference between passing and failing the regulation section of the CPA exam!

Good luck as you begin your studies of Chapter 5! Some of the page numbers in the videos are not the same as the page numbers in the BOOST textbook. Please use the page numbers in the BOOST textbook.

AFTER WATCHING EACH VIDEO BELOW, please complete the appropriate multiple choice and simulations related to each of these videos. Please refer to the document with content comparisons of BOOST and Becker to determine which multiple choice and simulations to complete.
