KNOW THE CHANGES OF THE TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT OF 2017 FOR SERIES 66 EXAM

When taking the Series 66 exam, don't go into the test with old tax rules.

 Many features of the tax code were changed when Pres. Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

 Make sure that you have the correct information when sitting for the Series 66 test. Unfortunately many Series 66 study texts may still reflect old tax rules and may not be updated. Be careful what preparatory materials you purchase and study—if they are not updated, you could be penalized for not knowing current tax law.

 Bob Eder's Study for the Series 66 Exam reflects the new tax rules and the current Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

 For example, Study for the Series 66 Exam contains new tax rules concerning the maximum tax rate for individual filers, the new deductions for state and local taxes, the cap on mortgage interest deduction, and the new rules on net investment income (NIT).

 Bob Eder's Study for the Series 66 Exam is available from Amazon in either paperback or Kindle e-book versions. Here is the link to Bob Eder's book on Amazon.
