Correct Answer: A

Correct Answer: B
Solution
FTS (Pub 4539; Rev. Proc. 2017-25 for SB/SE cases) brings an Appeals Officer into the case while jurisdiction remains with the Compliance function. The Appeals Officer mediates with a target resolution time of about 60 days. Either party may withdraw, preserving traditional Appeals rights.

🎉
Correct Answer: D
Solution
Under Rev. Proc. 2014-63 and Pub 4167, PAM is offered after a good-faith attempt at settlement at Appeals has reached an impasse on a limited number of factual or legal issues, and generally before issuance of the 90-day letter. Frivolous issues, certain coordinated issues, and "whipsaw" issues are excluded from PAM.
FreeFellow was built by Jeffrey Ting, a credentialed actuary and CFA charterholder who passed thirteen of the hardest exams in finance on the first attempt, and paid four-figure prep fees for every one. The learning itself was always free. The price was a moat.
So he started writing his own questions, then lessons, then mock exams, until it grew into a full prep platform covering 40 finance credentials with more than 45,000 original practice questions. The name says exactly what it is: the question bank is free, and Fellow is what you become once you pass.
01
Cost shouldn't decide who gets in.
The exam is a fair gate. A four-figure prep course is not. FreeFellow takes the second gate down, so the exam is the only one left.
02
Free should mean free.
No trial clock, no email gate, no credit card. The question bank, worked solutions, lessons, and readiness score stay free, and they are enough to pass.
03
Built by someone who sat where you sit.
He paid for the big-name courses, found nothing he respected, and built the prep he wished had existed. Not a marketing team that has never sat an exam.
