Enrolled Agent Exam [Part 2] 34, Tax Year Changes — Form 1128
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Why IRS approval, requested via Form 1128, is generally required to change a tax year. - That a change in tax year creates a short-period return for the months between the old and new year-ends. - How to perform the three-step calculation to annualize income and determine the tax for a short period. - That certain corporations can receive automatic approval for a tax year change under Rev. Proc. 2006-45. - To recognize the common exam trap of forgetting to prorate the annualized tax back to the short period.
