@rbynaker no you are wrong. This year I bought all Quickfinders, the complete Taxbook set, two US Master tax guides from two different publishers, State tax book, etc..I also subscribe to a newsletter and belong to three professional organizations that have newsletters, etc. And I can tell you my friend that it is worth every penny. Even if you only get the answer to one question it is well worth it. Oh by the way I am not a dumb@$$, I passed all parts of the CPA exam on my first sitting before I even started working. Oh yes I like to pat myself on the shoulder once in a while, a little arrogant I am.
