Selma Brinson is a busy lady; she has some good tax advice on her website, including without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing using a Registered Tax Return Preparer to prepare one’s taxes. But she herself hasn’t yet passed the examination for admission to practice before the United States Tax Court, which causes Ch J Kathleen (“TBS = The Big Shillelagh”) Kerrigan to put Ch Clk Charles Jeane and his crew to work sending out the Q&A about representing petitioners and intervenors in Tax Court.
Selma is getting no fewer than four (count ’em, four) of those jim-handy guides.
Apparently a lot of people, even those who know their way around taxes, conflate the Glasshouse Gang with the Constitution Avenue Crowd. They are, and of right ought to be, separate and independent. So Form 2848 opens no doors at 400 Second St., NW.
Speaking of which, we still haven’t gotten the numbers of those who took the last admissions exam, and those who passed it.
Taishoff Law 
The Tax Court quietly updated the Exam Statistics for 2023 early last Saturday (Sep 7): out of the 163 innocents who presented themselves for slaughter, only 10 survived — a pass rate of 6.13%, which is the second lowest after 2004’s 5.56% where 4 out of 72 passed.
