MojiTax says this is "the week to commit". Here is the deadline math behind it
Every Monday we take the latest from MojiTax, the company that owns this blog, and read it in plain terms for candidates. This week MojiTax published a note with a blunt title, that if international tax is your career move, this is the week to commit. Underneath the phrasing sits a real calendar problem, and it is not the same for every exam.
What the note is really pointing at
Two things sit underneath. First, a cluster of registration and entry cut-offs falls across the back end of August and into early September, the ones that decide whether you sit this winter rather than next year. Miss the entry window for a December ADIT module and your sitting does not move closer, it moves back a whole season. That is the honest reason a week can matter, not urgency for its own sake, but a missed administrative date costing you months.
The move the postponement quietly hands you
The second thing is the EA. The IRS has postponed international scheduling and testing with no new date, and MojiTax has cancelled its 29 August session on sitting the EA from abroad. So for international EA candidates this is precisely not the week to rush anything. The exams with live deadlines right now are the CIOT ones, ADIT, CTA and the Pillar Two Award, so the postponement makes the choice for you, the ADIT deadline is the one that is actually ticking.
What to check this week
- ADIT December entry: confirm the registration and entry deadline on the CIOT ADIT pages and get it done, this is the date that gates your winter sitting.
- CTA and Pillar Two: check the relevant CIOT cut-offs for your next sitting rather than assuming you have time.
- EA, do not rush: international scheduling is postponed with no new date, and a partial pass earns carryover time. Watch the IRS Enrolled Agent News page.
- Confirm on the source: verify each date on the awarding body's own portal before you rely on it.
