A "US resident alien" who is "bona fide resident" of a foreign country (or meets the physical presence test in another country) seemed impossibly contradictory to me until I had a tax client who fit this standard. Good idea to pay attention to all the details in study for the Enrolled Agent exam and not think odd situations will never occur in a tax practice. Best course at http://fastforwardacademy.com/enrolled-agent-exam-prep.htm
ReplyDeleteYes, Brian. That's right.
DeleteBTW I used Fast Forward Academy's tests when preparing for my exam along with other study material and they are really good practice.
