To best prepare for Big 4 Fed Corporate Tax, should I pass FAR or REG first? I’m assuming REG.

You have to pass them all. Order is irrelevant

I mean you have to pass them all but studying REG first would give you some helpful knowledge for starting out

Yes- this was the question. Others missed that

REG

As long as you pass both of them, it doesn't matter. Don't worry too much about it.

Take whatever one you just had a class in. I took REG first because I had just finished 2 tax classes in school and the rules were still in my head. I went into audit.

Take REG for foundation and to easily move forward unto something else.

The only thing that matters is passing the exam.

Any advice on things to expect (or not expect)?
