INTERNAL REVENUE CODE

Federal tax law begins with the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), enacted by Congress in Title 26 of the United States Code (26 U.S.C.).
The Internal Revenue Code (or IRC; more formally, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) is the main body of domestic statutory tax law of the United States organized topically, including laws covering the income tax (see Income tax in the United States), payroll taxes, gift taxes, estate taxes and statutory excise taxes. The Internal Revenue Code is published as Title 26 of the United States Code (USC), and is also known as the internal revenue title. Its governing authority is the Internal Revenue Service.

Balancing Wants and needs

The journey of any exam never ends with out encountering battles, to fight and win. It is never easy to win this battle. Though the desire to become the CPA is a want, it becomes a need, once we start preparing for an exam. And then the battle of our petty wants and the needs start.
Sometimes we sit to watch TV or visit friends home, we cannot be sure when we are going to be back on track. From my experience I understand that till we become a qualified CPA we must always remind ourselves that our time is precious at this point of time and we are investing our time to reap our returns later.
I'm not saying that we have to completely sacrifice all our movie times and friend's time. It is very important that we should have entertainment also but that entertainment should rejuvenate and help us to make a productive preparation.

Entertainment to rejuvenate is the motto.
Best Wishes
